Oliver’s Army

Lyrics
[Verse 1] Don't start me talking I could talk all night My mind goes sleep walking While I'm putting the world to rights [Pre-Chorus] Call careers information Have you got yourself an occupation? [Chorus] Oliver's Army is here to stay Oliver's Army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] All it takes, one itchy trigger One more widow, one less white nigga [Chorus] Oliver's Army is here to stay Oliver's Army is 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 a Chinese line With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne [Verse 3] But there's no danger It's a professional career Though it could be arranged With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear [Pre-Chorus] If you're out of luck and out of work We could send you to Johannesburg [Chorus] Oliver's Army is here to stay Oliver's Army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today And I would rather be anywhere else But here today And I would rather be anywhere else But here today And I would rather be anywhere else But here today
