Here's the lyrics......

[Chorus:]
There's so many of us
There's so many of us
There's so many [x2]
There's so many of us
There's so many of us
There's so many

Let's have a war
So you can go and die!
Let's have a war!
We could all use the money!
Let's have a war!
We need the space!
Let's have a war!
Clean out this place!

It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!

[Chorus]

Let's have a war!
Jack up the Dow Jones!
Let's have a war!
It can start in New Jersey!
Let's have a war!
Blame it on the middle-class!
Let's have a war!
We're like rats in a cage!

It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!

[Chorus]

Let's have a war!
Sell the rights to the networks!
Let's have a war!
Let our wallets get fat like last time!
Let's have a war!
Give guns to the queers!
Let's have a war!
The enemy's within!

It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy! :dance:

[Chorus x2]

ummmmmmmmmmm

I dunno.My turn.Here are the lyrics:

The Global Cannibal

Importing oil exporting blood

Weâ??ll take their barrels of oil by the barrel of a gun

Importing capital, exporting death

Weâ??ll keep dropping our bombs until thereâ??s none of them left

We donâ??t need actual evidence to seal a nationâ??s fate

just the promise of profit that their resources create

Unleashing our forces to preserve the American dream

by tapping their oil reserves to run our machines

We rule this world

We answer to no one

Weâ??ve used the U.N. in the past to legitimize our crimes

but if they wonâ??t stand with us now, then fuck them

We are the most powerful empire this world has ever seen

and weâ??ll have you either on your knees or under our heel

Weâ??ll force you to disarm while our fingers on the button

to continue our reign as the worlds biggest gluttons

War propaganda plagues our country

American perception is not reality

Our leaders have a war mentality

Weâ??re living in a war mentality

We feed on fear

We prey on weakness

We drop bombs on people in the name of freedom

We shower civilians with shells of depleted uranium

We want you disarmed

so you canâ??t resist us

when we liberate your land for American interests

The companies anxiously await their sound investment

War propaganda plagues our country

American perception is not reality

Our leaders have a war mentality

Weâ??re living in a war mentality

We devour it all

Weâ??re the global cannibal

With the brits by our side weâ??ll bomb them back into the Stone Age

to punish them for how uncivilized they are

Our superiority and first-world arrogance

entitle us to the double standards

elevating ourselves above criticism and consequence

and justifying anticipatory self defense

We see through your lies

You can stand on your own

Weâ??re not with the terrorists,

weâ??re not with you and weâ??re not alone

Youâ??re spilling blood to make oilmen richer

and redeem daddy for his miserable failure

but the people youâ??re killing, have a right to exist

We canâ??t let in come to this

War propaganda plagues our country

American perception is not reality

Our leaders have a war mentality

Weâ??re living in a war mentality

Stumped.....

Here's another from the same album.

"Foreign Policy"

Eliminate the incompetents
Difference don't exist in harmony!
Survival is superiority!
We don't need no hands across the sea!

We've got...
Foreign policy [x3]

The lines are drawn!
Establish the new order!
Suspect everyone!
Know your enemies!

We've got...
Foreign Policy [x3]

Hatred is purity!
Weakness is disease!
Every barrio
is manifest destiny!

We've got...
Foreign Policy [x3] :dance:

This one is fairly obvious, but without easy ones, everyone would never get it right!

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Thereâ??s too much confusion
I canâ??t get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weâ??ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hourâ??s getting late

Try to name this group.

Quark, Strangeness And Charm

einstein was not a handsome fellow
nobody ever called him al
he had a long moustache to pull on
it was yellow
i don't believe he ever had a girl
one thing he missed out in his theory
of time and space and relativity
is something that makes it very clear he
was never gonna score like you and me
he didn't know about

quark strangeness and charm
quark strangeness and charm
quark strangeness and charm
quark ssenegnarts and charm

i had a dangerous liason
to be found out would have been a disgrace
we had to rendezvous some days on
the corner of an undiscovered place
we got sick of chat chat chatter
and the look upon everybody's face
But all that does not not anti-matter
now we found ourselves a black hole in space
and we're talking about

quark strangeness and charm
quark strangeness and charm
quark enessgnarts and charm
quark strangeness and charm

here it comes it goes quark quark
.................................
quark now
...............;;;;.........?

copernicus had those renaissance ladies
crazy about his telescope
and galileo had a name that made his
reputation higher than his hope
did none of those astronomers discover
while they were staring out into the dark
that what a lady looks for in her lover
is charm strangeness and quark

quark strangeness and charm
quark strangeness and charm
quark strangeness and charm
quark sTrAnGeNeSs and charm
quark StRaNgNeSss and charm
quark Strangeness and charm
quark tsrnaegness and charm
quark strangeness and charm
quark strangeness and charm

here it comes quark quark :dance:

I picked up a cd by this band recently. It's one of those compilations...35 yr anniversery thing. They did a new version of this tune specifically for this release.

a river a mountain to be crossed
the sunshine in mountains sometime lost
around the south side
so cold that we cried

were we ever colder on that day
a million miles away
seemed from all of eternity

move forward was my friends only cry
in deeper to somewhere we could lie
and rest for the day
with cold in the way

were we ever colder on that day
a million miles away
seemed from all of eternity

the romance seemed lost in all the noise
the snowstorm the stimulating voice
the warmth in the sky
the warmth when you die

were we ever warmer on that day
a million miles away
seemed from all of eternity

This one should be easy for ya!

A proclamation was issued today,
By the government of the USA,
Up to ninety-nine years in jail,
For illegal possession or sale,
How can they think they're right when they're wrong,
I guess they've never been stoned.

It's so nice to be stoned, It's so nice to be stoned,
It's so nice to be stoned, It's so nice to be stoned.

Marijuana is the killer weed,
It's gonna be the end of you and me,
So says the TV news report,
Excuse me while I take a snort,
Let's get together now and take a toke,
of that magic smoke,

It's so nice to be stoned, It's so nice to be stoned,
It's so nice to be stoned, It's so nice to be stoned.

Now bombs and tanks and riot gas,
Can't keep you from smokin' grass,
Now listen to me brother and I'll tell you true,
Marijuana is good for you,
Breath deeply,

It's so nice to be stoned, It's so nice to be stoned,
Gonna sing it from the rooftops yeah,
It's so nice to be stoned, So so so niice,
It's so nice to be stoned. :stoned:

How bout this one...which group?


What do you want from life
To kidnap an heiress
or threaten her with a knife
What do you want from life
To get cable TV
and watch it every night

There you sit
a lump in your chair
Where do you sleep
and what do you wear
when you're sleeping

What do you want from life
An Indian guru
to show you the inner light
What do you want from life
a meaningless love affair
with a girl that you met tonight

How can you tell when you're doin' alright
Does your bank account swell
While you're dreaming at night
How do know when you're really in love
Do violins play when you're touching the one
That you're loving

What do you want from life
Someone to love
and somebody that you can trust
What do you want from life
To try and be happy
while you do the nasty things you must

Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to:
a heated kidney shaped pool,
a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
real simulated Indian jewelry,
a Gucci shoetree,
a year's supply of antibiotics,
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number,
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
a new Matador, a new mastodon,
a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego,
a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor,
a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu,
a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck,
a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped,
a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away,
or how about a McCulloch chainsaw,
a Las Vegas wedding,
a Mexican divorce,
a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,
or a baby's arm holding an apple? :dance:

Another song from the same group:

Teenage had a race for the night time
Spent my cash on every high I could find
Wasted time in every school in L.A.
Getting loose, I didn't care what the kids say

We're white punks on dope
Mom & Dad moved to Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope

Other dudes are living in the ghetto
But born in Pacific Heights don't seem much betto

We're white punks on dope
Mom & Dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
I can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope

I go crazy 'cause my folks are so fucking rich
Have to score when I get that rich white punk itch
Sounds real classy, living in a chateau
So lonely, all the other kids will never know

We're white punks on dope
Mom & Dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope :thumbsup:

Ok here's one, guess who?

I found your house and I saw your car
But I've no idea where you are
From the dial-a-view

Tire scraps on the federal roads
Look like crash landed crows
From the dial-a-view

Hello welcome to dial-a-view
To locate the area in which you wish to observe
You must program in the longitude and the latitude
For a closer more detailed picture
Use either the zoom or micro-zoom controls
Good luck

I dream at night
Of going home someday
Somewhere so far away
So dream alright
I know it's going to take some time
I'm going home someday

Fifteen years is almost done
And I don't recognize anyone
From the dial-a-view

My home my friends and you
I watch them fade but what can I do?
From the dial-a-view

Okay, seeing how I've had no idea, I'm not sure if that answer's right, Psycho4Bud.

But, can you name the band, who when their top song hit Billboard's #1 for six weeks, many rock critics gushed that the band was "the next Beatles" and celebrated the beginning of the end for disco music. While 1979 may have marked the climax of disco, it was also the beginning of the end for this band, who quickly faded into obscurity.

i dont know who you're referring to but i'll give you a good song:

Crack Rock Steady,
are you ready to stop
the rotten blue menace?
Let's go kill us a cop.
Crack Rock Steady,
are you ready?
Living above the law!

Po' little lice, the po' little screws,
the whitest gang crew, the hated boys in blue.
Like scabei on the street, they infest the beat,
fucking my life but I won't admit defeat to them!
Above the law, above the law come now,
No copper will be safe till they are dead and done now.
Let's lay em down low, let's hang em up high,
Let's take all of these piggies, and have them crucified!

Hardcore, rugged and raw,
on the streets of New York, we live above the fucking law.
It don't matter the color of your skin,
as long as you not scandalous, commit no sin to me,
or my tribe.
Would not be wise.
Time to smell the ganja, open up your fucking eyes.
Step back, keep your attitude in check,
and give the crack rock steady much respect.

Don't ya know that satan is the man?
So listen very close because we got a little plan:
We're gonna have to execute some rich important people,
gonna burn down all the churches and topple all the steeples.
See a frown? turn that cross upside down.
Grab a gun or baseball bat, let's go to fucking town!
Let's kill the police, I'll be saying little more,
But when the cops come to your door,
don't forget the choice is yours!

Riot sound, police come round,
With the bass and drum we knock 'em down,
Chop 'em up with the riffs an' in the stew,
Drinkin' pot liquor made of poison glue,
Pick it up!
Someone way up livin' in those high-rise castles
Wishing with the hope that I lick their assholes
with the beat we burn down those big brass doors,
Here we go!
Rocksteady!
