Put 'em All in the Army Now..!

Naughty kids...!! ..what should we do with 'em? Watching the Mods and Rockers or Skinhead Football hooligans on the TV in the 60's would make my Dad shout the title of this new song - the dirtiest, nastiest, punkiest one yet!

Putting hooligans in the armed forces is not the answer in my opinion, but makes a good subject for a song, I'd give 'em all a cigar box guitar...! (-;

Guitars - Rum Punch, Epiphone Bass
Drums - Roland TD-12 V-Drums
Vocals - Slowpaw Steve T
Marshall AS50D, Boss Distortion DS-1
Boss SE-70, Behringer Xenyx 1202
Recorded in 24 bit mono on Audacity

PLAY LOUD!

"PUT 'EM ALL IN THE ARMY NOW...!"

WELL KIDS TODAY ARE OUT OF CONTROL
THEY SHOULD BE OUT THERE ON PATROL
THEY JUST HAVE NOT BEEN BROUGHT UP RIGHT
SHOW 'EM WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FIGHT!

CHORUS-
PUT 'EM ALL IN THE ARMY NOW!
LINE 'EM UP AND SHOW THEM HOW
...TO MARCH!

THEY STALK THE STREETS WITH KNIFE AND GUN
HITTIN' ON EVERY MOTHER'S SON
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ OR WRITE
THEIR LIVES ARE FULL OF HATE AND SPITE!

CHORUS-
PUT 'EM ALL IN THE ARMY NOW!
RUN 'EM IN AND SHOW THEM HOW
...TO KILL!

THEY'RE OUT THERE WASTIN' THE NIGHTS AWAY
TAKE YOUR CARS AND DRIVE AWAY
THE ASBO CULT IS GROWING STRONG
THEIR DADS THINK THEY CAN DO NO WRONG!

CHORUS-
PUT 'EM ALL IN THE ARMY NOW!
TRAIN 'EM UP AND SHOW THEM HOW
...TO FIGHT!

THEY PUT THEIR GIRLFRIENDS IN THE CLUB
AND LAUGH ABOUT IT DOWN THE PUB
GENERATIONS LOST IN LUST
AND GETTIN' AWAY - IT'S SO UNJUST!

CHORUS-
PUT 'EM ALL IN THE ARMY NOW!
JOIN 'EM UP AND SHOW THEM HOW
...TO FIGHT!

THEY TRASHED THE STREETS AND ROBBED THE SHOPS
THEY SMASHED THEIR CARS AND CHASED THE COPS
THE KIDS ALL CAUGHT US ON THE HOP
THIS REVOLUTION'S GOT TO STOP!

CHORUS-
PUT 'EM ALL IN THE ARMY NOW!
TOUGHEN 'EM UP AND SHOW THEM HOW
...TO DIE!
