Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Nighttime For Generals Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Well it's nighttime and the long cars
  • Are arriving at the door,
  • The general is having another party,
  • With 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
  • And bitter talk of a country
  • With a weakness in its roots.
  • And it's nighttime 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 to take it away.
  • "Well the fools don'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 nighttime 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 to take it away.
  • They giveth, they taketh,
  • Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime.
