Lyrics Wargames - The Tongue, Joyride

Wargames

I got this energy
Been building inside of me all damn week
If you don’t let me out I’m gon' break free
My fuse is lit and I’m a blow it all away
Squad leader’s shooting flares in the air, it’s time for some action
Sex pistols loaded for crimes of passion
Yo, we take no prisoners, weekend warriors
Band of brothers, no suckers are gonna bother us
Tonight we fight dirty, sobriety’s the enemy
Joyriding lady-killer, girls keep surrendering
King’s Cross battleground, that’s where they’re sending me
Might never return, burn spliffs to remember me
All quiet on the inner western front
Drop zone is twenty-two steps from the club
The second that we get in it’s a god damn skirmish
Like we were diggers and these chickies were Turkish
Half-Vietnamese birds looking so perfect
Russian beauty got me harder than a Cold War turnip, yeah
She reached down as we started to dance and said
«Baby, I wanna give your peace/piece a chance»
Oh, oh, oh
Salute the soldiers of the city of sin
Check the canteen, top it off with straight gin
Notify your next of kin, we’re gunning 'em down
Flashbang them fans, got 'em stunned by the sound
A couple dapper gents, latex lies, line of defence
While our POWs now are climbing the fence
It’s their great escape
Breaking out of the cuffs of the man you hate
?
dance hall, Alexander the Great, my empire, 5 AM
Crumbling at the rate and the state that I’m in
I think I’m gonna need a medic, but it’s your shop
So hit the bar, lest we forget it
Hold up for a second, let the smoke settle
Incredible bell, yo, this girl deserves a medal
I’m a five-star general, I’m handing 'em out
Playing war games with raw dames is what I’m about
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Man down, man down, Tongue’s MIA)
Yeah, with a girl that’s lookin' like MIA
Bring a friend, I say, you might need reinforcements
The party won’t stop 'till your dad kicks the door in
(But she said she was twenty-one) Number’s important
Age of conscription, I jump two stories
Should have been a paratrooper, life’s never boring
Fighting for our love at six in the morning
Looking for record time, you know it ain’t safe out there
You could get gunned down by this modern love warfare
So wear your protection, protect your heart
Cause you never know when
The end might start
Oh, oh, oh, come on
I got this energy (I said I got this energy)
Been building inside of me all damn week
(And then I need to break free)
If you don’t let me out I’m gon' break free
(I said I’m gonna break free)
My fuse is lit and I’m a blow it all away
(Blow it all away)
I said we blow it all away
We blow it all away
Man, we blow it all away, yeah, ha
I said we blow it all away
We blow it all away
We blow it all away
It’s Wargames, baby
