David Crosby - Night Time For The Generals Lyrics
Intro. (Bass + Electric Guitar and Organ)Well, it's night time and the long carsWere arriving at the doorThe general is having another partyThere's a congressman or threeAnd some guys you never see outside the bankThere's a laughing clink of glassesAnd a polished click of bootsBitter talk of our countryWith a weakness in its rootsIt's night time for the generals and the boys at the C.I.A.Power gone mad in the darknessThinking they're God on a good dayThey giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take it awayInstrumental (Organ)"Well, a fool won't know the differenceIt's for their own good" they saidAnd they shot blind Lady LibertyIn the back of her headAnd it's night time for the generals and the boys at the C.I.A.Power gone mad in the darknessThinking they're God on a good dayThey giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take it awayInstrumental (Electric Guitar)Night timeI said it's night timeoh, oh, ohNight time yeah, yeah, yeahNight timeThey giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take itThey giveth, they taketh but they like, like to take itThey giveth, they taketh don't let them take it awayEnding (Guitars and Organ) 1987 Stay Straight Music / Fair Star Music (BMI)
