At Tension Songtext
von Daryl Hall & John Oates

I′d like to join the Army
Don't wanna join the war
I′d take my place in line hell
I'd never go AWOL
We keep on marching forward
We never will retreat
Don't let the enemy inside you
That′s the beginning of defeat

All good soldiers stand (to arms)
All good soldiers try (so hard)
To follow orders, never asking why

I′m standing at tension (at tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
I′m standing at tension (at tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move, yeah


Now, shaky finger on the trigger
Ready, aim to please
Now, how can such a little bullet
Drop a big soldier to his knees?
There′s no warning, only waiting
When a strange love drops the bomb
All this fighting, it can hurt you
But it's the little wounds that do the harm

All good soldiers stand (to arms)
One good solider tries (so hard)
He follows orders, never questioning why
Never questioning why

I′m standing at tension (at tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
I'm standing at tension (at tension)
I′m standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move, yeah

All good soldiers stand (to arms)
All good soldiers try (so hard)
To follow orders, never asking why
They′re never asking why


I'm standing at tension (at tension)
I′m standing at (tension)
I'm standing at tension (at tension)
I′m standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move

Standing at tension
Standing at tension
Standing at tension
Standing at tension
Standing at tension
Standing at tension
Standing at tension
Standing at tension
