Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Oliver's Army lyrics

Don't start that talking I could talk all night My mind is sleepwalking While I'm putting the world to right Called Careers Information "Have you got yourself an occupation?" [Chorus] Oliver's Army is here to stay Oliver's Army are 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***a [Chorus] Hong Kong is up for grabs London is full of Arabs We could be in Palestine Overrun by a 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 or out of work We could send you to Johannesburg [Chorus]
