Lindisfarne - Cruising To Disaster
[INTRO:] C F C F C F Em G
[VERSE 1:]
C Em
President Reagan ain't faking when he says
G Em
He's gonna teach the Russians good
C Em
You seen what he done with his six shooting gun
G Am
When he cleaned up in Hollywood
[VERSE 2:]
F Dm
And the White House standing up on Capitol Hill
G7 C
It's a fortress to freedom with a license to kill
Am Dm7
Only the finger on the trigger with a gunslinger's skill
Bb G
Will prove to the world he's not over the hill
[VERSE 3:]
C Em
And the men in the Kremlin all senile and twitchy
G Em
Would love to come in to your life
C Em
To reach out and touch you and teach you the history
G Am
Of revolution and strife
[VERSE 4:]
F Dm
And the Red Army's there to help you make up your mind
G7 C
If you think you've got something to do with your time
Am Dm7
They got rockets and missiles that'll blow your mind
Bb G
And blow your future right out of time
[CHORUS:]
C F
We're cruising to disaster
C F
Getting faster and faster
Em G
Watch the wheels catch on fire
F G
Watch the flames burning higher
C F
Cruising to disaster
C F
Getting faster and faster
Em G
Stand in line, take your place
F G
Say goodbye to the human race
[VERSE 5:]
C Em
We've had a good run, now the fun is all gone
G Em
And the bomb is about to take over
C Em
If you want a last look at what it says in the book
G Am
It says, you better look over your shoulder
[VERSE 6:]
F Dm
'Cause the military man has made his plans
G7 C
And ordinary people don't understand
Am Dm7
It's a long hard haul to the promised land
Bb G
If you want to survive, you've got to make a stand
[CHORUS:]

We're cruising to disaster

Getting faster and faster

Watch the wheels catch on fire

Watch the flames burning higher
