1. IN THE ARMY NOW

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftsman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You be the hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergeant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Oh, oh, you're in the army now


2. HEARTBURN

No longer will I take what you're doing to me
A one man woman you'll never be
Fooling around, leading me on
You're giving me heartburn

You can't send me high, then leave me low
With just one look, woman you know
It's right for you, but wrong for me
You're giving me heartburn

Under your spell, helpless as can be
But now I'm stronger, it ain't fantasy
Living a lie just ain't for me
You're giving me heartburn

Wo-oh, now I'm living reality
Wo-oh, you ain't got nothing over me

Heartburn, set me free
>From the heartburn, inflicted on me
Now I see it can no longer be
Oh release me, oh-oh-oh
Heartburn, heartburn, heartburn, heartburn

I can't explain what I felt for you
I gave all I had, what else could I do?
No longer can I turn a blind eye
Because of this heartburn

Now it's come to this, I gotta let go
My heart's on a string, swinging
