High time to mobilize
The work we'll do
High time to synchronize
Gather our crew
A secret battlefield
Lies within you
War is the cost
Of fighting off the truth
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
We're gotta fight the good fight
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Well no one's dragging you along
On a Saigon summer night
You're gonna come to realize
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
When your belly's in the trench
Then your heart's gotta mobilize
I'll be a spy for hire
I'll plant the bug
Eavesdrop on sweet desire
Go undercover
But you must promise
To stop fighting off the truth
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
We're gotta fight the good fight
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Well no one's dragging you along
On a Saigon summer night
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
You're gonna come to realize
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
When your belly's in the trench
Then your heart's gotta mobilize
My enemy grows stronger
As I pace the floor and wonder how
I've let it come this way
My enemy is part of me
The last one that I wish to meet
In battle face to face
Ooh
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
We're gonna fight the good fight
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Well no one's dragging you along
On a long long summer night
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
You're gonna come to realize
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
When your belly's in the trench
Then your heart's gotta mobilize
You're gotta mobilize
You're gotta mobilize
You're gotta mobilize
Ooh ooh ooh
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Ooh ooh ooh
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Ooh ooh ooh
You're gotta mobilize
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
You're gotta mobilize
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
You're gotta mobilize
You're gotta mobilize
You're gotta mobilize
You're gotta mobilize
