Back to back 
The president cracks 
There's no power left 
In the old white shack 
It's the same 
New Washington 
Red button 
One push And the whole world is gone

Strain Live off your nerves 
You've run out of verve 
Take those pills 
And you'll feel no ills 
It's the same 
I don't think that he should take the 
Strain He can't have it all his own way 
Same chance same place but wrong day 
He can't have it all his own way 
Same chance same place but wrong day 
Oh no... Scream at nature to steal some papers 
On with the camera to get the answers 
Tipping the waiter to find who that was 
Leaving the night 
Go undercover now 
The strain 
Strain Back to back 
The president cracks 
There's no power left 
In the old white shack 
It's the same 
New Washington 
A red button 
One push And the whole world is gone 
It's the same 
I don't think that he should take the 
Strain He can't have it all his own way 
Same chance same place but wrong day 
He can't have it all his own way 
Same chance same place but wrong day 
He can't have it all his own way 
Same chance same place but wrong day 
He can't have it all his own way
