Extreme

Wars and rumors
Of wars, no one knows what for
Toys and soldiers
Deployed, on some foreign shore
Lords and rulers
Destroy, diplomatic rapport

Communists, dictatorships
Democracies, hypocrisies
Ask not what your country can do
To a one world governmental zoo

Political,political
Politicalamity
(It's anarchy)
Political,political
Politicalamity

Rich and poor
Salute your country's colors
Less is more
When one oppresses the other
Pride and power
Decorated upon collars

Donkeys, bears 'n elephants
All paper-trained on parliament
I said ask not what your country can do
To a one world governmental zoo

Political,political
Politicalamity
(It's anarchy)
Political,political
Politicalamity

Political,political
Politicalamity

(SOLO)

Ask not what your country can do
In a one world governmental zoo
Ask not what your country can do
In a one world governmental zoo
(One world governmental zoo)

Political,political
Politicalamity
Ah, ah, ah
(It's anarchy)
Political,political
Politicalamity
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, yeah
(It's anarchy)

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
