"The Strain" lyrics - THE FIXX

Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack

It's the same

New Washington
Red button
One push
And the whole world is gone

It's the same
I don't think that he should take the...
Strain

Live off your nerves
You've run out of verve
Take those pills
And you'll feel no ills

It's the same
I don't think that he should take the
Strain

He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
Oh no...

Scream at nature to steal some papers
On with the camera to get the answers
Tipping the waiter to find who that was
Leaving the night
Go undercover now

The strain
Strain

Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack

It's the same

New Washington
A red button
One push
And the whole world is gone

It's the same
I don't think that he should take the
Strain

He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
