The Hollies - Boys in the Band lyrics

With Mr. Soul or King Creole You gotta go with the man in the band He'll be your guide Singing la la la la But what makes Mr Politic A lot of words another trick Turn peace into war Singing ha ha ha ha Ooh it's not the way we want it Not the way at all Not the way to change our minds Our backs up against the wall The boys in the band all live in harmony For life's a poem And we can make it rhyme The boys in the band all live in harmony Let's get it together before we Go down, down, down I don't want to theorize it Just hope people realize The simple melody can free your soul And let you be man what you are And fly la la la But every back street slum where Pushers push and hookers hook Just won't set you free with ha ha ha ha Ooh it's not the way we want it Not the way at all Not the way to change our minds Our backs up against the wall The boys in the band all live in harmony For life's a poem And we can make it rhyme The boys in the band all live in harmony Let's get it together before we Go down, down, down The boys in the band all live in harmony The boys in the band all live in harmony Ooh it's not the way we want it Not the way at all Not the way to change our minds Our backs up against the wall The boys in the band all live in harmony The boys in the band all live in harmony The boys in the band all live in harmony The boys in the band all live in harmony The boys in the band all live in harmony The boys in the band all live in harmony
