Oliver's Army
Don't start me talkingI could talk all nightMy mind goes sleepwalkingWhile I'm putting the world to rightCalled careers informationHave you got yourself an occupation?Oliver's army is here to stayOliver's army are on their wayAnd I would rather be anywhere elseBut here todayThere was a checkpoint CharlieHe didn't crack a smileBut it's no laughing partyWhen you've been on the murder mileOnly takes one itchy triggerOne more widow, one less white nigger[Chorus]Hong Kong is up for grabsLondon is full of ArabsWe could be in PalestineOverrun by a Chinese lineSongtexteWith the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the TyneBut there's no dangerIt's a professional careerThough it could be arrangedWith just a word in Mr. Churchill's earIf you're out of luck or out of workWe could send you to Johannesburg[Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
