    We are the warriors of the sun
    Fighting post-war battles that somehow never got won
    It may be crazy or it may be the final run
    We are the warriors of the sun

    Say we feed the hungry and we tend to the sick
    Say that we're always around when the going gets thick
    Say we'll carry off the evil and your weary ones
    Say we are the warriors of the sun

    It's true about no more water but the fire next time
    Will the children of the eighties be ashes or discover their prime
    We don't heed the Nobel laureate warning 'bout things to come
    Or the incinerated warriors of the sun

    New York guardian angels, you all right?
    No one's gonna violate Ronnie on the subway tonight
    Smile as a child and then you buried your gun
    Another couple of thousand warriors of the sun

    In the ghetto by any other name she remains the same
    Now more than ever survival is the name of the game
    Prove that you're truly needy by eating dinner from a dog food can
    One of these days, the apple's gonna hit the fan

    We are the warriors of the sun
    Fighting post-war battles that somehow never got won
    It may be crazy or it may be the final run
    We are the warriors of the sun
    We are the warriors of the sun
    We are the warriors of the sun

We are the warriors of the sun
Fighting post-war battles that somehow never got won
It may be crazy or it may be the final run
We are the warriors of the sun

Say we feed the hungry and we tend to the sick
Say that we're always around when the going gets thick
Say we'll carry off the evil and your weary ones
Say we are the warriors of the sun

It's true about no more water but the fire next time
Will the children of the eighties be ashes or discover their prime
We don't heed the Nobel laureate warning 'bout things to come
Or the incinerated warriors of the sun

New York guardian angels, you all right?
No one's gonna violate Ronnie on the subway tonight
Smile as a child and then you buried your gun
Another couple of thousand warriors of the sun

In the ghetto by any other name she remains the same
Now more than ever survival is the name of the game
Prove that you're truly needy by eating dinner from a dog food can
One of these days, the apple's gonna hit the fan

We are the warriors of the sun
Fighting post-war battles that somehow never got won
It may be crazy or it may be the final run
We are the warriors of the sun
We are the warriors of the sun
We are the warriors of the sun
