Won't You Join The Army Now,

So You Can Fight And You Can Die? (x4)



Join the army for a way of life

you'll learn respect and discipline

they'll train you hard to be a man

and even to live free of sin

in just two years you'll be a machine

that destroys anything within its path

and after all that brainwashing

you'll legally be a psychopath



Fuck the army and its way of life

The patriotic way to fight

with blood and guts and endless screams

how can you say it's built on dreams?

dreams of death and a horrid nation

prisoners in camps of concentration

is this your fucking way of life?

a pathetic holocaustic strife!



Won't You Join The Army Now,

So You Can Fight And You Can Die? (x4)



Travel the world, see foreign nations

boost your ego in public relations

learn of cultures and different races

that soon you'll be tearing to pieces

see the famine and poverty

that's destroying third world countries

to help a country, you'll start a war

relentless U.S. corporate whore



Fuck your building industrialization

in a country not meant for civilization

making them work in shit hole cages

exploiting them with lower wages

they don't want your aid or sympathy

with your establishing a false democracy

stuff your fascist vision of farce

as you shit their pride out of your arse!



Attention, about face, forward, march! } sung but not printed

Hut two three four (x4) } in record sleeve foldout



Won't You Join The Army Now,

So You Can Fight And You Can Die? (x4)



Well now the army sounds good to you,

they'll even give you an education too

but the future looks grim with talk of nuclear war

how will we survive past 1994

it seems the issue is world domination

your apathetic greed will lead to termination

fucking around with deadly toys

is not a game for grown up boys!



Fuck your nuclear submarine base

that'll destroy what's left of the human race

all this talk of nuclear power

a deadly rain, atomic shower

pandemonium, insanity and fear

this talk of death I don't want to hear

I think it's time to stop this war

your ignorant rivalry will be a deadly score



So now you've joined the army,

Indulged the lies they've fed, and now you're dead
