Boys In The Band

With Mr. Soul or King Creole
You gotta go with the man in the band
He'll be your guide
Singing la, la, la, la
But what makes Mr. Politic
A lot of words another trick
Turn peace into war
Singing ha ah

Ooh, it's not the way we want it
Not the way at all
Not the way to change our minds
Our backs up against the wall

The boys in the band all live in harmony
For life's a poem and we can make it rhyme
The boys in the band all live in harmony
Let's get it together before we go down, down, down

I don't want to theorise it
Just hope people realise
The simple melody can free your soul
And let you be a man what you are
And fly la, la, la
But every back street slum where pushers push and hookers hook
Just won't set you free with ha ah

Ooh, it's not the way we want it
Not the way at all
Not the way to change our minds
Our backs up against the wall

The boys in the band all live in harmony
For life's a poem and we can make it rhyme
The boys in the band all live in harmony
Let's get it together before we go down, down, down

The boys in the band all live in harmony
The boys in the band all live in harmony

Ooh, it's not the way we want it
Not the way at all
Not the way to change our minds
Our backs up against the wall

The boys in the band all live in harmony
The boys in the band all live in harmony

The boys in the band all live in harmony
The boys in the band all live in harmony

The boys in the band all live in harmony
The boys in the band all live in harmony
