Styx - Cold War Lyrics
Written by tommy shawLead vocals by tommy shawIm tired of your psychologyTo bring me to my bended kneesAnd if I could only talk to youIm sure that I could make you seecause time has a wayOf bringing even mountains down, down, downStorm clouds are comingI suggest you head for higher groundI say youre a thing of the pastAnd you aint gonna lastNo matter what you say or doIts all caught up to youYoure duty-free, youre tax-exemptYou party with the presidentAnd you dance the dance so naturallyWhy not believe youre heaven-sentBut time has a way of bringingEven mountains down, down, downTheres a storm cloud a-cominI insist you head for higher groundYou talk talk and you get so intenseThat you almost make senseAnd thats what scares me the mostYou as the host of celebrity liesIts prime time, babyCant you see in my eyes, its aCold war-runnin in the streetsEverybody you meet knowsIts going down, dont you knowCold war-blowing in the airEveryone everywhere says its timeTo get ready for a cold warDont you look nowBut the skinny boys becoming a manYou say its the luck of the drawAnd you cant have it allAnd Ill die young trying to make itInto something that aint gonna lastYou ought to reconsidercause Im coming fast with aCold war-running in the streetsEverybody you meetKnows its going down, dont you knowCold war-blood is in the airEveryone everywhere says its timeTo get ready for a cold war-looking at meFrom behind every treeTheres a scared man running from aCold war-dont you look nowBut the skinny boys a streetfighting man[extra verses sung in concert during the kilroy tour:]Try as you will, you cant escape the chillThat penetrates your clothing,Demanding that you feelAll the trouble that surrounds you,The bad mixed with the good,The heartless bits of data waiting to be understoodInformation central promptly processed your request,The task were told honestly requires you acquiesce.Well, blind faith put you where you are nowYoure a selfish old cow gettin high on societys milk.We pay your bills, life should be so tough.Youd better watch your fat ass, cause weve had enough!
