Exactly, lvn4life! Sometimes music is the healthy outlet for politics! It sure beats bombings and killings! Added bonus too, its a very catchy tune and good to dance to! :)

It really doesn't get much better than this does it? And I don't think it's xenophobic, more spectacularly cynical. It's from the LP Armed Forces afterall,&is about the British Govt signing up school leavers as cannon fodder in an era of high unemployment. 30 years later&it's still going on...

Dont take it out of context,...it was a political song - although it was meant to raise consciousness it wasnt meant to be prejudice.

The drummer looks like Qaddafi and you gotta love the xenophobic, racist lyrics

1979 was such a good year for music.

...and "Its a Professional Career" was a British Army recruiting advert slogan in in the 1970s.
