Hall & Oates

Hall & Oates are an American musical duo composed of Daryl Hall and John Oates. They achieved their greatest fame in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues styles, which they dubbed "rock and soul." Critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and J. Scott McClintock write, "at their best, Hall & Oates' songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock." While much of the duo's reputation is due to its sustained pop-chart run in the 1980s, they continue to record and tour, and remain respected by various artists for their ability to cross stylistic boundaries. more »

I'd like to join the army
Don't want to join the war
I'd take my place in line hell (hell)
Never go awol
We keep on marching forward
Never will retreat
Don't let the enemy inside you
That's the beginning of defeat
All good soliders stand (to arms)
All good soliers 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 a shakey finger on the trigger
Ready aim to please
Now how can such a little bullet
Drop big solier to his knees
But there's no warning only waiting
When a Strangelove drops the bomb
All this fighting it can hurt you
But its the little wounds that do the harm
All good soliders 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)
Standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move yeah

All good soldiers stand (to arms)
All good soliders try (so hard)
To follow orders never asking why
They never asking why
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
Standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move
