You never give up, you never give up, you never give up the army [x3]
Join the army at seventeen
Two years later you're a k**ing machine
three more rifles if they die
gotta do whatever the army says
[Chorus:]
Army life is k**ing me, me, me, me, me, me
Army life is k**ing me
Where the Belfast is the f**ing 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 k**
I joined the army to be a man
But all I learned in the long years is
gotta do whatever the army says
[Chorus]
