Showdown Lyrics by Jefferson Starship

Showdown Lyrics

    They walk with their arms away from their sides
    Cause it's all in the timing
    Who wins the fight
    All around them the signs are clear
    It'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 there's too much fire
    For the perfect match
    Now it's just a matter of the first attack

    Which one is right
    That's no longer clear
    Anger has no light
    When it's covered with fear
    Never turn your back
    That's always when you're caught
    You're a dead man on the rack
    'cause you'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 ending's insane
    The audience dies
    In the final frame
    It'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?
