[Verse] Well it's high noon at the U.K. corral And it's high time I got myself back on the rails I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin across the range With just a hand held radio--to keep me sane Ridin through the f.m. stations, the tumbleweed And the petrol stations Will all on board this Yankee station Prepare themselves for battle stations-- [Chorus] Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes Well, what's a man got left to fight for When he's bought his freedom By the look of this human jungle It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding! [Verse] Most everyone round here thinks they're something special That destiny will be kind-- While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls And aiming for heaven from this man made world Come on down--the devil's in town He's brought you sticks and stones To bust your neighbors bones He's stuck his missiles in your gardens And his theories down your throat-- And god knows what your gonna do with him Cos I certainly don't [Chorus] Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST I can't see for the tear gas, and the dollar signs in my eyes Well, what's a man got left to fight for When he's bought his freedom By the look of this human jungle It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding! [Verse] Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth Cos deep in the heart of me There's a frightened man breaking out Oh I was just looking for paradise Anywhere in this world While they're gunning for heaven-- From this man made hell!!! God knows because they don't Come on down, the Devil's in town [Outro] Angels, angels of Destruction Angels, angels of Destruction Angels, angels of Destruction Angels, angels of Destruction Angels, angels of Destruction Angels, angels of Deception
