I've been waiting for so long to come here now and sing this song. Oh don't be fooled by what you see don't be fooled by what you hear. This is a song to all of my friends They take the challenge to their hearts. Challenging preconceived ideas saying goodbye to long standing fears. Don't crack up bend your brain see both sides Throw off your mental chains. Don't crack up bend your brain see both sides . . . I don't wanna be hip and cool I don't wanna play by the rules. Not under the thumb of the cynical few or laiden down by the doom crew. Don't crack up bend your brain see both sides . . . Don't crack up bend your brain see both sides . . . I've been waiting for so long to come here now and sing this song. . . . Don't crack up bend your brain see both sides

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long. Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song. So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed. And in the personals column, there was this letter I read: "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain. If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape." I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean. But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine. So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad. And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad. "Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne. I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape. At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape." So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place. I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face. It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you." And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew".. "That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne. If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape." "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne. If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War! People fill the world with narrow confidence Like a child at birth, a man with no defence What's mine's my own, I won't give it to you No matter what you say, no matter what you do Now we're fighting in our hearts Fighting in the streets Won't somebody help me? War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War! Man is far behind in the search of something new Like a Philistine, we're burning witches too This world of hate must be designed for you It matters what you say, it matters what you do Now we're fighting in our hearts Fighting in the streets Won't somebody help me? War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War! After the bird has flown Walked ten thousand miles back home You can't do that to me, no, you can't do that to me
