And the hotels are shut-up Windows are cracked with fear And it looks like I'm gonna Have to join a Red Brigade Join a Red Brigade When the terror hits And you hear it call And you find your name's been Written on the toilet wall And the radio sounds Just like a gun in your ear Why didn't they pull the trigger? And you can hardly keep from Crawling through the? in the night And it looks like I'm gonna Have to join a Red Brigade Join a Red Brigade Dinner by candlelight Table for two Keep your eye on the dark They're lookin' for you Leave this place a bloody mess When the terror hits And the? And the innocent Wonder where it all went wrong 'Cause your newspaper said "It couldn't happen here" Right until the presses stop turnin' And the cards of the exiles Full of questions and tears And it looks like I'm gonna Have to join a Red Brigade Join a Red Brigade Join a Red Brigade Join a Red Brigade Join a Red Brigade
