You Can Run, But You Can't Hide

When those ships start steaming,
And the radar starts beaming,
When those missiles start flying,
And the jets start striking,

Chorus:
We will teach you how to fight.
We will show you all our might.
You can run, but you can’t hide.
We will show you how to fight.

When those troops start loading,
And the planes start flying,
When those troops start jumping,
And the tanks start rolling,

(Chorus)

When those jets start stroffing,
And the bombers start bombing,
When those troops start landing,
And the Bradleys start rolling,

(Chorus)

We will teach you how to fight.
We will show you all our might.
You can run, but you can’t hide.
We will show you how to fight.

Double-Time... Anytime... March!

C-130 rolling down the strip
64 troopers gonna take a little trip
Mission top secret, destination unknown
And they don't give a damn if they ever come home

Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
If that main don't open wide
I've got a reserve by my side

And if that one should fail me too
Here is all that I should do
Roll over get up and run off the DZ
Cause never in HELL will ya' bury me

They Say That In The Army

They say that in the Army the coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!
They say that in the Army the chow is mighty fine
a chicken jumped off the table and started marking time
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!
They say that in the Army the biscuits are mighty fine
one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!
They say that in the Army the training's might fine
last night there were ten of us, now there's only nine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!
They say that in the Army the pay is mighty fine
they give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH
