Oliver's Army

[Verse 1]

Don't start that talking

I could talk all night

My mind's been sleepwalking

While I've been setting the world to right

My careers information

Have you got yourself an occupation?

[Chorus]

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army, they are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

[Verse 2]

There was a Checkpoint Charlie

He did not crack a smile

Oh it's no laughing party

When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes is one itchy trigger

One more widow, one less white nigga

[Chorus]

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army, they are 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 the Chinese line

With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Times

[Verse 3]

But there's no danger

It's a professional career

All this could be arranged

With just a word in Mister Churchill's ear

If you're out of luck or out of work

We could send you to Johannesburg

[Chorus]

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army, they are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

But here today

Oh I would rather be anywhere else

But here today
