When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house and you meet her folks
and they say that your hair's too long and you're not their kind of bloke
they grab you by the collar and they throw you through the door
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Well, you're working very hard to get promotion in your job
Ain't no money, ain't no woman ain't no roof above your head
so you lay down in the park and you wish that you were dead
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be etc. fade out.
