now i'm dead

seen the ad on my tv set

join the army be a man

join the army learn new skills

learn to kill and maim your friends

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

british soldier on tour of ulster

who's the enemy

who's the foe

sent to the falklands

it's miles away

i didn't really want to go

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

on the news in my living room

soldier killed by ira

it happens so often now

that people just don't even care

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

seen the ad on my tv set

join the army be a man

join the army learn new skills

learn to kill and maim your friends

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job

and now i'm dead

and nobody cares

it's part of the job
