Stan Ridgway Harry Truman
John Wayne was always bald And he had a woman's name Valentino was a momma's boy He cried in his tent all night long And Harry Truman finally Dropped the bomb So they could go to sleep at night I got a plaque up on the wall and an office in the sky I give birth to major deals Lookin' down on the passersby I pass the torch, I follow the code I'm steerin' straight ahead No, I don't stray the road To be a warrior with a king To put your hand in the flame Without burning And go to sleep at night John Wayne was always bald And he had a woman's name Valentino was a momma's boy I cried in my tent all night long And Harry Truman finally dropped the bomb So I could go to sleep at night Now...go to sleep... -------------------------------------------------
