(Roger Taylor and David Richards)
Join our army join our band
Join our army and be a real man
Abandon hope who enter here
Land of hopelessness and fear
A band of gypsies a band of gold
Won't save your hide won't save your soul
Caught like a fly on the face of the Eiger
There's a smile on the face of the tiger
Abandon hope
(Is this your answer?)
Abandon fire
Abandon ship
(You know the answer)
Abandon fire


Join our army join our band
Join our army and be a real man


The fires of hell would feel ice cold
And sure as time you'll soon grow old
Tears of heartache tears of rage
From living in a tiring age
Caught like a fly on the face of the Eiger
Now there's a smile on the face of the tiger
Abandon hope
(Is this your answer?)
Abandon fire
Abandon ship
(This is no answer)
Abandon fire
Abandon hope
(You know the answer)
Abandon fire
Abandon ship
Abandon fire


Listen to the rhythms of the city life
Listen to the rhythms of your soul
Listen to the rustling in the undergrowth
Follow in the footsteps to your goal


Abandon hope
(Is this your answer?)
Abandon fire
Abandon ship
(This is no answer)
Abandon fire
Abandon hope
(You know the answer)
Abandon fire
Abandon ship
Abandon fire
