The party is swinging and the lights are low
No one in the room got nowhere to go
Everbody's running but there's nowhere to hide
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
Kathy's in the bathroom, staring at the glass
It only takes a moment for the scenery to pass
Faces on the book shelf, voices on the rise
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
Broken-hearted lovers are all here now of course
Thinking aloud about revenge and remorse
Comparing betrayals and the nights that they cried
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
The man in the corner writes his name on the wall
A woman looks up and she says "Is that all?"
He drops to his knees to recover his pride
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
Cassanova is dancing with all the pretty boys\
Out in the moonlight while some slave he employs
Carries his ashtray when he comes back inside
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
Up in the attic where the windows have bars
Saint Angelina is counting her scars
She likes Dr Jeckyll, but she loves Mr Hyde
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
The women all curtesy and pretend not to look\
As the crown prince makes notes in his little black book
He's searching in vain for some young virgin bride
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
The self-styled outlaws are all acting so chic
Getting their kicks by insulting the meek
All of them trying to look like Bonnie and Clyde
And the band keeps playing "With God On Our Side"
Six months ago I was ready to quit
I was leaving the party - I was counting on it
Look at me now, I'll go along for the ride
'Cause the band's still playing "With God On Our Side"
