go and join the army
  said the father to the son
  see the world around you boy
  and learn to use a gun
  think you're something special
  well, we'll make you just the same
  there's nothing wrong in dying
  after all, it's just a game
  - just a game.
    read the morning paper
  there's a picture of a cross
  "we were proud in them days"
  by the way, i think you lost
  trust me when i tell you boy
  that god is on our side
  even jesus cheers us on
  against the other side
  - against the other side.
    he who shouts the loudest
  is the one who's in control
  we who never listen
  are the ones who pay the toll
  tell us that it's time at last
  to make a final stand
  i'm glad 'cos all i wanted
  was to kill another man
  - just to kill another man.
