The The
Angels of Deception
[Verse]
Well it's high noon at the U.K. corral
And it's high time I got myself back on the rails
I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin across the range
With just a hand held radio--to keep me sane
Ridin through the f.m. stations, the tumbleweed
And the petrol stations
Will all on board this Yankee station
Prepare themselves for battle stations--
[Chorus]
Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST
I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
When he's bought his freedom
By the look of this human jungle
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!
[Verse]
Most everyone round here thinks they're something special
That destiny will be kind--
While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls
And aiming for heaven from this man made world
Come on down--the devil's in town
He's brought you sticks and stones
To bust your neighbors bones
He's stuck his missiles in your gardens
And his theories down your throat--
And god knows what your gonna do with him
Cos I certainly don't
[Chorus]
Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST
I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
When he's bought his freedom
By the look of this human jungle
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding!
[Verse]
Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth
Cos deep in the heart of me
There's a frightened man breaking out
Oh I was just looking for paradise
Anywhere in this world
While they're gunning for heaven--
From this man made hell!!!
God knows because they don't
Come on down, the Devil's in town
[Outro]
Angels, angels of Destruction
Angels, angels of Destruction
Angels, angels of Destruction
Angels, angels of Destruction
Angels, angels of Destruction
Angels, angels of Deception
