Oliver's Army

Don't start me talking

I could talk all night

My mind goes sleepwalking

While I'm putting the world to rightCall careers information

Have you got yourself an occupation?Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here todayThere was a checkpoint Charlie

He didn't crack a smile

But it's no laughing party

When you've been on the murder mileOnly takes one itchy trigger

One more widow, one less white niggerOliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here todayHong Kong is up for grabs

London is full of Arabs

We could be in Palestine

Overrun by a Chinese line

With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the TyneBut there's no danger

It's a profession a career

Though it could be arranged

With just a word in Mr. Churchill's earIf you're out of luck or out of work

We could send you to JohannesburgOliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here todayAnd I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
