Showdown — текст песни (Jefferson Starship)

They walk with their arms away from their sides

Cause its all in the timing

Who wins the fight

All around them the signs are clear

Its gone too far

Now the showdown is here

Showdown is here



Hungry dogs follow

And the vultures lead

Self-preservation

The original greed

But theres too much fire

For the perfect match

Now its just a matter of the first attack



Which one is right

Thats no longer clear

Anger has no light

When its covered with fear

Never turn your back

Thats always when youre caught

Youre a dead man on the rack

cause youre just too proud to stop



Absolute quiet is the final warning - showdown

Six minutes and the war is roaring -showdown

The voice of reason was buried this morning -showdown

Decision for death is the final story -showdown



We used to love it when they came on the scream

The good guys strong

And the bad guys mean

But the story has changed

Now the endings insane

The audience dies

In the final frame

Its the final game



Now both sides are gone

No funerals

No priests

No crowds singing songs

No heroes in the streets

Both sides were wrong

Just too stubborn to teach

And it was just too long

Before enough people had the courage to speak

And say



No showdown

No showdown

No showdown



They walk with their arms away from their sides

Will the ones who are left

Still say they are right?
