The Big Guns by The Swirling Eddies Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1988

[Verse 1]
Get ready to draw the rockets of peace
There's a showdown tonight on the bright Milky Way
Ambush the bad man, blow him right out of the east
We'll be singing, "Yi-yippee-ki, whoopee-ki yippee-ki-yay"

[Verse 2]
Hold on to your hats and wear clean underwear
Wrap the wagon train around the green suburban lawns
If we die, we're gonna meet the good Lord up in the air
Chanting, "yippee-ki, yippee-ki, move the little doggies along"

[Chorus]
And we'll bring out the Big Guns tonight
And right all the wrong that is right
We're gonna spill some blood, and shed some light
When we bring out the Big Guns tonight

[Verse 3]
Lock and load and spray on the Armor All
When the dogs of war drop a rocket on the White House lawn
Wear the emperor's new clothes down to the destruction ball
Singing, "yippee-ki, yippee-ki, move the little doggies along!"
[Chorus]
And we'll bring out the Big Guns tonight
And right all the wrong that is right
We're gonna spill some blood, and shed some light
When we bring out the Big Guns tonight

[Bridge]
And if I go down, I will take you with me
No, you don't have to cross the Jordan all alone
Love and hate are here within me
And it scares me to think how angry I have grown

[Verse 4]
Finish the chapter, write a new page
The last man standing gets to start all over again
He'll bury the Big Guns and think he's found a new age
He'll walk off singing, "Yi-yippee-ki, yippie-yi-yay"
He'll walk off singing, "Yi-yippee-ki, yippie-yi-yay"

[Chorus]
Will he bring out the Big Guns tonight
And right all the wrong that is right?
We're gonna spill some blood, and shed some light
When we bring out the Big Guns
Bring out the Big Guns
Bring out the Big Guns tonight
