Cold war

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!
