David Crosby - Night Time for the Generals lyrics
Intro. (Bass + Electric Guitar and Organ) Well, it's night time and the long cars Were arriving at the door The general is having another party There's a congressman or three And some guys you never see outside the bank There's a laughing clink of glasses And a polished click of boots Bitter talk of our country With a weakness in its roots It's night time for the generals and the boys at the C.I.A. Power gone mad in the darkness Thinking they're God on a good day They giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take it away Instrumental (Organ) "Well, a fool won't know the difference It's for their own good" they said And they shot blind Lady Liberty In the back of her head And it's night time for the generals and the boys at the C.I.A. Power gone mad in the darkness Thinking they're God on a good day They giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take it away Instrumental (Electric Guitar) Night time I said it's night timeoh, oh, oh Night time yeah, yeah, yeah Night time They giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take it They giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take it They giveth, they taketh don't let them take it away Ending (Guitars and Organ) 1987 Stay Straight Music / Fair Star Music (BMI) |
