Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord Yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave peril to the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their empower minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'til their judgment day comes, yeah

Now in darkness world stops turning,
As you hear the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the War Pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord Yeah!

. . .


You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair.
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?

The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that ol' crazy Asian war.
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore.

And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be.
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize.

But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

She's leaving now, 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before.

And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

Oh Ruby, God sakes turn around....

They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
But if I told the truth I'd have to say

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside
and it just won't be denied
Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
and I'd better say goodbye before I cry

I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow
but if they told the truth they'd have to say...

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside
and it just won't be denied
Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
and I'd better say goodbye before I cry

Strangers in the night
exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances
we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through?

Something in your eyes
was so inviting
Something in your smile
was so exciting
Something in my heart
told me I must have you
Strangers in the night
two lonely people

We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night
we've been together
Lovers at first sight
in love forever
It turned out so right
for strangers in the night

Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night
we've been together
Lovers at first sight
in love forever
It turned out so right
for strangers in the night
La da da da da

. . .


Once I thought two happy hearts could someday beat as one
But then a third heart came along and now our love is gone
I count the many times I've said I love no one but you
But don't be fooled by counting dreams that never will come true
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by everytime a heart breaks
The answer only tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches

Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by every time a heart breaks
The answer only tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches

Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches

. . .


You look so good to me right now...
You really, really look good to me right now...

Whatever, whatever
Girl I'll do,
Forever and forever, ya ya ya ya
I'll see you through
Because I've got to keep you pleased, in every way I can
I'm gonna give you all of me, as much as you can stand
I'll make love to you right now, that's all I want to do
I know you need it girl, and you know I need it too

'Cause, I've found what the world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear, I don't have to look no more
And all my days, I've hoped and I've prayed
For someone just like you to make me feel the way you do
I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never ever gonna stop
Stop the way I feel about you
Girl I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quittin just ain't my shtick
Gonna stay right here with you
Gonna do all the things you want me to now

Whatever you want, girl you've got it
And whatever you need,
I don't want to see you without it
That's right...
Because, you've given me much more than words can ever say
And, oh my dear, I'll be right here until my dying day
I don't know just how to say all the things I feel...
I just know that I love you so and it gives me such a thrill

'Cause I've found what the world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear, I don't have to look no more
And all my days, I've hoped and I've prayed
For someone just like you to make me feel the way you do
I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never ever gonna stop
Stop the way I feel about you
Girl I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quittin just ain't my shtick
Gonna stay right here with you
Gonna do all the things you want me to now

I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never ever gonna stop
Stop the way I feel about you
Girl I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quittin just ain't my shtick
Gonna stay right here with you
Gonna do all the things you want me to now

Man is born, man lives, man dies
and it's all vanity
and that's about the way it is with the merry-go-round
you get on
you go around
standing in the saddle

Man is born
man lives
man dies
and it's all vanity
He tried thrills
he said "I gave myself to enjoy pleasure"
What are teenagers doing today?
They're trying every thrill there is in the books
We've got colored TV
but it still isn't satisfying
Man is born
man lives
man dies
and it's all vanity

You can't understand it, it's going so loud, and so forth,
and they're all wigglin' and wobblin' around and everything else and
and yet, they feel unsatisfied
and these disc jockeys they say here is a tune that is different
hear the tone that is different

Man is born, man lives, man dies
and it's all vanity
You can't understand it, it's going so loud, and so forth,
and they're all wigglin' and wobblin' around and everything else and
and yet, they feel unsatisfied
and these disc jockeys they say here is a tune that is different
hear the tone that is different

Man is born, man lives, man dies
and it's all vanity

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machedy to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
And at the city bank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrystler Laberan

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket

It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's raining outside.
You've nowhere to hide.
She's asking you
Why you think it's funny.

It's coming down.
It's coming down.
She's leaving your house.
She had to get out.
She's mad,
And she'll take her mattress with her.

It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.

It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
You lie on the floor.
She's slamming your door.
She's gone,
And she's wearing your red sweater.

It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.
It's coming down.

I can't believe it's true.
I can't believe that you
Don't want me anymore.
You're with him,
And you don't even know
That I've been dying all day long
And singing sad, sad songs
And wishing you were gone.

Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Or should I close the door?

My eyes are burning in my head
And seeing only red
And wishing you were dead.

Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Or should I,
Or should I, should I,
Should I close the door?
Should I close the door? Ah, I fooled myself.

Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Or should I,
Or should I,
Or should I, should I,
Should I close the door?
