Raimundos - Oliver's Army lyrics

I could talk all night

My mind goes sleep walkin'

While I'm puttin' the world to right

He didn't pack a smile

But it's no laughing party

When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes one inch of trigger

One more widow, one less white nigger

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

Than here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs

London is full of ab's

We could be in Palestine

Overrun by the chinese line

With the boys from the mersey

And the thames and the tyne

But there's no danger

It's a professional carrer

Though it could be arranged

With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear

If you're out of luck or out of work

We could send you to Johannesburg

Oliver's army is here to stay

Oliver's army are on their way

And I would rather be anywhere else

Than here today

And I would rather be anywhere else

Than here today

And I would rather be
