about

Written in 1980. The lyrics still seem relevant, although it's unlikely that today's private security industry would train recruits from scratch.

lyrics

Go to the docks tomorrow – stand near the back
You’ll see a man there waiting, dressed in black
Follow him along the quayside, get in his car
He’ll take you where you’re going – it isn’t far

Within a month or maybe two
We’ll make a man out of you
We’ll take you to foreign lands
We’ll put a gun into your hands

We’ve got the guns to give you that kill real clean
We’ll train you to perfection to be real mean
Russian sub machine guns that shoot real fast
The AK-47 – it’s built to last

Within a month or maybe two
We’ll make a man out of you
We’ll take you to foreign lands
We’ll put a gun into your hands

Two thousand pounds a week with no tax to pay
You can kill someone different every day
Learn how to be a soldier, learn how to fight
As long as you don’t think, you’ll be alright

Within a month or maybe two
We’ll make a man out of you
We’ll take you to foreign lands
We’ll put a gun into your hands
