Jefferson Starship — Showdown lyrics

Lyrics

They walk with their arms away from their sides
Cause itЂ™s all in the timing
Who wins the fight
All around them the signs are clear
ItЂ™s gone too far
Now the showdown is here
Showdown is here
Hungry dogs follow
And the vultures lead
Self-preservation
The original greed
But thereЂ™s too much fire
For the perfect match
Now itЂ™s just a matter of the first attack
Which one is right
ThatЂ™s no longer clear
Anger has no light
When itЂ™s covered with fear
Never turn your back
ThatЂ™s always when youЂ™re caught
YouЂ™re a dead man on the rack
Ђ™cause youЂ™re 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 endingЂ™s insane
The audience dies
In the final frame
ItЂ™s 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?
