Blur Oliver's Army
Don't start me talking, I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world
to rights
Called careers information, have you got yourself an
occupation?
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army is 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*gger
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today
Hong Kong is up for grabs, London is full of Arabs
You could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the
Tyne
But 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 and out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today (x4)
