Oliver's Army Lyrics

Don't start that talking. I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking, while I'm putting the world to right

Called careers information. Have you got yourself an occupation?
Oliver's army is here to stay. Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today

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

Only takes one itchy trigger. One more widow, one less white n*****
Oliver's army is here to stay. Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs. London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine. Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

No, there's no danger. It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged with just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work, we could send you to Johannesburg

Oliver's army is here to stay. Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today
