Nighttime for the Generals Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well it's nighttime and the long cars
Are arriving at the door
The general is having another party
There's a congressman or three
And some guys you never see outside the bank

[Verse 2]
There's a laughing clink of glasses
And a polished click of boots
And bitter talk of a country
With a weakness in its roots

[Chorus]
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away

[Verse 3]
"Well the fools don't know the difference
It's for their own good," they said
And they shot blind Lady Liberty
In the back of her head

[Chorus]
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away

[Outro]
They giveth, they taketh
They like to take it away
Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime
Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime
Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime
