"Down In The Cockpit"

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Man acting like a farmer and
He's treated the woman like a poor cow
We got to treat you better from now
But man is just a baby and
He's needing your milk of kindness, I vow
To drink as much as you will allow

All the way through history
Man, machine, no my-my-mystery
All the way through history
Girl have the brain to act like the weaker sex

Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it
Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it

Queen wants the castle
Back from the rascal
Queen wants the castle

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

The girl tribe are growing up and
Filling the world full with a new soul
To get so far they payed a high toll
Try not to make the same mistakes
As man has made, or you'll fall in that hole
And you will see us changing our role

All the way through history
Man, machine, no my-my-mystery
All the way through history
Girl have the brain to act like the weaker sex

Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it
Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it

Queen wants the castle
Back from the rascal
Queen wants the castle, no

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh, look what is this pigeon down in the hole
Well, I know, sir, this strange being was once abundant on the Earth
They would roam in great herds
And many made important decisions
But now they are virtually excinct
Some say they were called man

All the way through history
Man, machine, no my-my-mystery
All the way through history
Girl have the brain to act like the weaker sex

Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it
Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it

Queen has the castle
Back from the rascal
Queen wants the castle

Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it
Down in the cockpit
Man need the woman to pull him right out of it

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Ow, ow, ow, ow
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) down in the cockpit
