Boys In The Band - Hollies

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 theorise it 
Just hope people realise 
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 

Oooh 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 

Break

The boys in the band all live in harmony 
The boys in the band all live in harmony 

Oooh 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
