When the big gun starts to shooting With their bullets of deception With the smile upon your face Going from second hand to almost new Show me one more sign Give me one more time 'Cause you give me You give me temptation Sing along sing along baby Sing along for the love of the children And if this was to be true Say I'd give all the tea in China And maybe all the tulips In Amsterdam Well I try to live life eye to eye But I say I find it far too tall Show me one more sign Give me one more time 'Cause you give me You give me temptation First you make me move Until I'm so damn close Take me back again, take me back again Say I'm mighty thankful But it's much too easy Paying dues and learning vices But no, but no, but oh no You won't waste my spirit Show me one more sign Give me one more time 'Cause you give me You give me temptation I want peace love and understanding To last throughout my life Sing along sing along baby Sing along for the love of the children
