[INTRO:] C  F  C  F  C  F  Em  G

[VERSE 1:]
C                      Em
President Reagan ain't faking when he says
     G                        Em
He's gonna teach the Russians good
    C                          Em
You seen what he done with his six shooting gun
        G                  Am
When he cleaned up in Hollywood


[VERSE 2:]
        F                          Dm
And the White House standing up on Capitol Hill
       G7                         C
It's a fortress to freedom with a license to kill
         Am                           Dm7
Only the finger on the trigger with a gunslinger's skill
     Bb                          G
Will prove to the world he's not over the hill


[VERSE 3:]
        C                      Em
And the men in the Kremlin all senile and twitchy
      G                       Em
Would love to come in to your life
   C                           Em
To reach out and touch you and teach you the history
   G              Am
Of revolution and strife


[VERSE 4:]
        F                           Dm
And the Red Army's there to help you make up your mind
       G7                            C
If you think you've got something to do with your time
         Am                           Dm7
They got rockets and missiles that'll blow your mind
    Bb                            G
And blow your future right out of time


[CHORUS:]
      C             F
We're cruising to disaster
        C          F
Getting faster and faster
          Em              G
Watch the wheels catch on fire
          F              G
Watch the flames burning higher
C             F
Cruising to disaster
        C          F
Getting faster and faster
         Em              G
Stand in line, take your place
        F                G
Say goodbye to the human race


[VERSE 5:]
      C                       Em
We've had a good run, now the fun is all gone
        G                     Em
And the bomb is about to take over
       C                           Em
If you want a last look at what it says in the book
             G                     Am
It says, you better look over your shoulder


[VERSE 6:]
           F                Dm
'Cause the military man has made his plans
    G7                    C
And ordinary people don't understand
       Am                    Dm7
It's a long hard haul to the promised land
       Bb                             G
If you want to survive, you've got to make a stand


[CHORUS:]
      C             F
We're cruising to disaster
        C          F
Getting faster and faster
          Em              G
Watch the wheels catch on fire
          F              G
Watch the flames burning higher
      C             F
We're cruising to disaster
        C          F
Getting faster and faster
         Em              G
Stand in line, take your place
        F                G
Say goodbye to the human race


[CHORUS:]
C             F
Cruising to disaster
        C          F
Getting faster and faster
          Em              G

          F              G
Watch the flames burning higher
C             F
Cruising to disaster
        C          F
Getting faster and faster
         Em              G
Stand in line, take your place
