LANDSLIDE

Flick Of The Switch (1983)

SINGLE: Guns For Hire/Landslide (1983)

(Young, Young, Johnson)

 

I want you to hear me out there

This is for all you bad boys

This is a story of the satan rock 'n' roll

I want you to put your hands in your pocket

Take ten dollars out and send it to me, ha ha

 

You're the man, a main man [Hallelujah, and amen]

Listen to me baby, I'm gonna say it again

 

When Momma done school her son

for what he didn't do 'round there

Daddy don't take a no, no, no

Sends him to a (bullet affair?)

This boy is lost

It's a living nightmare

It ain't fair

 

CHORUS:

That boy he don't know how to lose

He's out to win

He got the lot to call the last shot

Shaker, he's a breaker, he's a maker

He's a landslide, landslide

Walking, talking, rocking landslide

 

Now Momma he ain't no toy

And never ever gets his share

(Daddy expecting to ???? his son?)

???? room for air

This boy is lost

It's a rocking double dare

He's out to stare

 

CHORUS

 

Landslide

Landslide

Landslide

Landslide

 

(Preacher) done say his prayer

Take him to the promised land

Momma don't love, gonna give him hell

Never gonna get him down

This boy is lost

like a river, follow the course

But he's the boss

 

CHORUS

 

Landslide, walking talking rocking landslide

Landslide, Landslide

That man's a one man landslide

Landslide

Landslide

Landslide

That man's a one man landslide

That boy's a walk talk rocking landslide, he's gone
