Two Tribes was a best-selling single for British dance and new wave band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Released in 1984, the song had driving rhythms and chaotic lyrics – however its music video depicted the Cold War as a wrestling match between Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko and US president Ronald Reagan.
When two tribes go to war – a point is all you can score
When two tribes go to war – a point is all you can scoreCowboy number one, a born-again poor man’s son
On the air America, I modelled shirts by Van Heusen
Workin’ for the black gas, yeahYou know
When two tribes go to war – a point is all you can score
When two tribes go to war – a point is all you can score
Workin’ for the black gasSwitch off your shield, switch off and feel
I’m workin’ on lovin’ yeahGiving you back the good times
Ship it out, out
I’m workin’ for the black gasWhen two tribes go to war – a point is all you can score
When two tribes go to war – a point is all you can scoreWe got two tribes
We got the bomb, we got the bomb, yeah
Sock it to me biscuits nowAre we livin’ in a land
Where sex and horror are the new gods? YeahWhen two tribes go to war – a point is all you can score
