It's not enough to hear me say you've won You only wanted me for having fun But now I think you've lost and had your way And left me with a pile of bills to pay I can't even rewind the tape machine To listen to your drunken reasoning So here it is your final lullaby So goodnight, goodnight You're embarrasing me, you're embarrasing you So goodnight, goodnight Walk away from the door, walk away from my life So goodnight I've given up on social niceties I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys Along with all your records I can't stand You never even listen to anyone of them You'd never gonna drag me out again With all the people that were never ever even your friends So here it is your final lullaby So goodnight, goodnight You're embarrasing me, you're embarrasing you So goodnight, goodnight Walk away from the door, walk away from my life A little bit of rain I'd say is fair When it starts to thunder they all stare This isn't goonight this is goodbye So goodnight, goodnight You're embarrasing me, you'rr embarrasing you So goodnight, goodnight Walk away from the door, walk away from my life So goodnight

Here will be a sad day comin' For the foes of all mankind They must answer to the people And it's troubling their mind Everybody who must fear them Will rejoice on that great day When the powers of dictators Shall be taken all away CHORUS: There'll be smoke on the water On the land and the sea When our Army and Navy overtakes the enemy There'll be smoke on the mountains Where the Heathen Gods stay And the sun that is risin' Will go down on that day For there is a great destroyer Made of fire and flesh and steel Rollin' toward the foes of freedom They'll go down beneath it's wheels There'll be nothing left but vultures To inhabit all that land When our modern ships and bombers Make a graveyard of Japan CHORUS Hirohito 'long with Hitler Will be ridin' on a rail Mussolini'll beg for mercy As a leader he has failed But there'll be no time for pity When the Screamin' Eagle flies That will be the end of Axis They must answer with their lives CHORUS (Instrumental Interlude) CHORUS
