You can have girls and girls
You can have boys and boys
You can have sex and violence
You can have space age toys
You can have anything that you think will fit
As long as it's box office, as long as it's a hit

Cinema, cinema

You can have birdmen and snowmen
You can have women in red
Hero taxi drivers talk about evil dead
Black hats and white hats you know what I mean
A flashdance welder and Jesus in jeans

Cinema, cinema

Norma Jean has gone with the wind
And we'll never, never see her no more
Jimmy Dean you drove that machine
Chased a dream, chased a dream

We've been up the junction, down the yellow brick road
We've got beauty with beast
And a prince with a toad
We've got future adventures
You believe man can fly
Put on your 3-d glasses
Get a shark in the eye.

See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile
Empty love's burned out traces
See them walking down midnight mile

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you

Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean
See them skate where the ice is thin
Empty love that's a cold emotion
See the tears falling in the rain

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you

See the mist on the magic mountain
Watch the moon in a blood red sky
Empty love that's a dried up fountain
Never change and never ask him why

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you.

Who took the smile out of your face
Who put the tears and sadness in its place
Who took the sun out of your sky
Don't turn around or ask for reasons why
No place to run, nowhere to hide
It's just another love turned bad
Some smoke that's gettin' in your eyes

It's just another heartache, just another heartache
Just another hurt to take
Another bridge for you to cross
It's nothing but a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Just another big mistake
Another game you have lost
It ain't nothing but a heartache

Always wore your heart out on your sleeve
You said you'd always cared and needed to believe
There comes a time to give, there comes a time to take
But a sentimental heart will be the first to break
Don't try to run
Don't try to hide
It's just another love turned bad
Some smoke that's clouded up your eyes.

I say black and you say white
I turn to the left, you move to the right
No matter what I do
I'm always on the other side of you
I'm always on the other side of you

I want to play but you like to fight
I rise in the morning, you hide in the night
No matter what I do
I'm always on the other side of you

Like paralell lines, so near yet so far
Like north pole and south pole, we're oceans apart
I'm always on the other side of you

You let go, I try to connect
You always remember, I try to forget
I'm always on the other side of you.

Why don't you tell me that it's over
Why do you keep this hangin' on
Pack up your bags and run for cover
Say what you mean and see it done

Why don't you cut me loose, you don't need me
Lift up your dress and walk away
There's nothin' left you can say to please me
You're just a dog who's had it's day

You beat around the bush and mumble
About the good old days we had
Your face grows longer as you crumble
You had the good now taste the bad

Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan

You promised me nothing would change you
More empty words from an empty soul
The same old stories you still cling to
The truth be told you leave me cold

You used to lead the dance and fumble
Howl in the night you could not sleep
You climbed to the top of the hill then tumbled
Too many promises come cheap.

I've seen that girl before, I've seen the boys come and go
And still she's on her own
I've seen those tears before, I've seen her heart break
She knows what it means to be alone

There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting

She knows the dangers there,these love affairs
Run hot, run cold and always take their toll
It's another lonely night inside those empty rooms
She knows will never be a home
There must be etc.

For one from the heart
She's on her knees
One from the heart, that's all she needs
One from the heart, she can believe

I've seen that girl before, I've seen boys that come and go
And still she's on her own
I hope somewhere, somehow, Someday
she'll find that special one before her heart turns cold.

Hey sailor, what you think, hey buy a girl a drink
That was the first thing she said to me
I was on dry land but I was back at sea
She was so pretty but she was so mean
C'mon boys, I'm sure you've been

Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty

Hey mama what's your name, hey what's it matter
You just tied up from your long voyage
I'm sure gonna make you feel better
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin' her duty now it's understood

Hey lady, what's your game, hey can I play it
Everybody knows when the price is right
So just come out and say it
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin' her duty now it's understood.

Send him to the fields, send him to the wars
Send him on down to slave on the farms
Steal his land, rob his soul
Send him on down to dig that hole

Give him no hope, give him no trial
Put him in chains, break that smile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Listen to him singin', hear him wail

You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy

Give him no peace, give him no rest
Teach him to believe your god is the best
Sail him away, to the promised land
Send him on down into his masters hand
Take his woman, take his child
Take him on down to the murder mile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
What's that song you hear him wail

Now you wonder why he's an angry man
Why there's fire in your father's land
And wonder now what tomorrow will bring
Will you hear him screamin', will you hear him sing.

The bars are crowded with wasted youth
You just went, you didn't know the truth
You don't know that kid when you look back
You remember the music, paint it black

You had a brother in the movement and he burned his card
He's got a job in the white house, ain't life hard
You came back a hero on a stolen horse
You say you don't fit in, you can't stay the course

I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong
It's a veteran's song
I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong
It's a veteran's song

The band paraded playing “Oh gung ho”
Your country needs you, you've got to go
When you came over they said “Soldier go back”
When you came home they put you on the rack

Between agent orange and the jungle and fear
You're just surviving to get out of here
You smoke some more herb and you keep your head down
Could be your number is on the next round.
