Styx - Cold War текст песни

Written by tommy shaw

Lead vocals by tommy shaw

Im tired of your psychology

To bring me to my bended knees

And if I could only talk to you

Im sure that I could make you see

cause time has a way

Of bringing even mountains down, down, down

Storm clouds are coming

I suggest you head for higher ground

I say youre a thing of the past

And you aint gonna last

No matter what you say or do

Its all caught up to you

Youre duty-free, youre tax-exempt

You party with the president

And you dance the dance so naturally

Why not believe youre heaven-sent

But time has a way of bringing

Even mountains down, down, down

Theres a storm cloud a-comin

I insist you head for higher ground

You talk talk and you get so intense

That you almost make sense

And thats what scares me the most

You as the host of celebrity lies

Its prime time, baby

Cant you see in my eyes, its a

Cold war-runnin in the streets

Everybody you meet knows

Its going down, dont you know

Cold war-blowing in the air

Everyone everywhere says its time

To get ready for a cold war

Dont you look now

But the skinny boys becoming a man

You say its the luck of the draw

And you cant have it all

And Ill die young trying to make it

Into something that aint gonna last

You ought to reconsider

cause Im coming fast with a

Cold war-running in the streets

Everybody you meet

Knows its going down, dont you know

Cold war-blood is in the air

Everyone everywhere says its time

To get ready for a cold war-looking at me

From behind every tree

Theres a scared man running from a

Cold war-dont you look now

But the skinny boys a streetfighting man

[extra verses sung in concert during the kilroy tour:]

Try as you will, you cant escape the chill

That penetrates your clothing,

Demanding that you feel

All the trouble that surrounds you,

The bad mixed with the good,

The heartless bits of data waiting to be understood

Information central promptly processed your request,

The task were told honestly requires you acquiesce.

Well, blind faith put you where you are now

Youre 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!
