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
