Lyrics
Don't start that talking I could talk all night My mind's been sleepwalking While I've been setting the world to right My careers information Have you got yourself an occupation? Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army, they are on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today There was a Checkpoint Charlie He did not crack a smile Oh it's no laughing party When you've been on the murder mile Only takes is one itchy trigger One more widow, one less white n***a Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army, they 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 You could be in Palestine Overrun by the Chinese line With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Times But there's no danger It's a professional career All this could be arranged With just a word in Mister 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, they are on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today Oh I would rather be anywhere else But here today
