You never give up, you never give up, you never give up the army
You never give up, you never give up, you never give up the army
You never give up, you never give up, you never give up the army
Join the army at seventeen
Two years later your a killing machine
Three more rifles if they die
You got to do ever what army says
[Chorus]
Army life is killing me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Army life is killing me
Where the Belfast is the fucking fun
Walking about with a tommy gun
Several years and when you're dead
You'll just be announced in your local paper
[Chorus]
Five AM its just up in the morning
I gotta gear up from bed to teach
Walk through the country for our pay
Gotta do whatever the army says
[Chorus]
I joined the army to learn to kill
I joined the army to be a man
But all I learned in the long years is
Gotta do whatever the army says.
[Chorus]
