Oliver's Army

[Verse 1]

Don't start me talking

I could talk all night

My mind goes sleep walking

While I'm putting the world to rights

[Pre-Chorus]

Call careers information

Have you got yourself an occupation?

[Chorus]

Oliver's Army is here to stay

Oliver's Army is on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

[Verse 2]

There was a Checkpoint Charlie

He didn't crack a smile

But it's no laughing party

When you've been on the murder mile

[Pre-Chorus]

All it takes, one itchy trigger

One more widow, one less white nigga

[Chorus]

Oliver's Army is here to stay

Oliver's Army is on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

[Bridge]

Hong Kong is up for grabs

London is full of Arabs

You could be in Palestine

Overrun by a Chinese line

With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

[Verse 3]

But there's no danger

It's a professional career

Though it could be arranged

With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear

[Pre-Chorus]

If you're out of luck and out of work

We could send you to Johannesburg

[Chorus]

Oliver's Army is here to stay

Oliver's Army is on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today
