[Verse 1]
A D E
Don’t start that talking, I could talk all night
A D C#7 F#m
My mind goes sleepwalking, while I’m putting the world to right
B F#m B E (A)
Called careers information, have you got yourself an occupation
[Chorus]
A D E A D E
Oliver’s Army is here to stay, Oliver's Army are on their way
A A/G# F#m A/E D D/C# E A
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today

[Verse 2]
A D E
There was a Checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile

B F#m B E
Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow, one less white nigger

[Bridge]
G#m F# E D#
Hong Kong is up for grabs, London is full of Arabs
C#7 F# E F#
We could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese line
E F#
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
[Verse 3]
B E F#
But there's no danger, it's a professional career
B E D#7 G#m
Though it could be arranged with just a word in Mister Churchill's ear
C# G#m C# F# B E F#
If you're out of luck, or if you're out of work, we could send you to Johannesburg
