Present Arms Lyrics
You got no job, you got no pay
Join the military, sign today
They'll take you off to fight on foreign shores
Be your mother's pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
They'll pay you to protect what isn't yours
(..)
You'll be your mother's pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears
(..)
You'll be your mother's pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears
Join the military, sign today
They'll take you off to fight on foreign shores
Be your mother's pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
They'll pay you to protect what isn't yours
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero shows no fear
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero shows no fear
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears

Obviously about war, I wasn't born in the 80s so I can't tell whether or not this may be inspired by the Falklands war... was this song before or after the Falklands?
