The girl in the car hit the wall at the speed of sound
The sun in the sky woke up, blinked, and turned around
The boy in the dirt fell asleep with his face on the ground
The mother turned over just in time to see her daddy drown
Wo, you can read it in the Daily News
Wo, check the oil and replace the fuse


You ain't right babe
Yer lookin' way too thin
This is war now babe and I'm gonna win




The ringing in her ears got so high no matter what she did
The smile on her face told a lie to the neighbors kid
The picture on the wall of the guy in the rock'n'roll band
Felt a footstep in the hall and the dry touch of baby's hand
Wo, she was frightened of the telephone
Wo, daddy never let her sleep alone




You ain't right babe
Yer lookin' way too thin
This is war now babe and I'm gonna win
