Push your foot to the floor
Don't need no more
You've been dickin' all around
While they're messin' about

Better get your name, come on in
Gimme that thing and feed your war

War Machine ''(War machine)''
War Machine ''(War machine)''

Make a stand, show your hand
Call in the high command
Don't think, just obey
I'm like a bird of prey

So better get your name, come on in
Gimme that thing and feed your war

War Machine ''(War machine)''
War Machine ''(War machine)''

Better watch your back
And cover your tracks
Kick your foot through the door
Hit the deck, know the score

They take you by surprise
And here's mud in your eye
This will be the day they shouldn't forget
Call of the wild, hungry for more
And feed your war

War Machine ''(War machine)''
War Machine ''(War machine)''
Let's go

I've seen your war
War Machine ''(War machine)''
War Machine ''(War machine)''
War Machine ''(War machine)''
War Machine ''(War machine)''
War Machine ''(War machine)''

I Just listened to the entire tune again. Gave it a  6, so it did not wind up on "My Favorites" list.  Not for me. Some people love it. everybody has different tastes!

Maybe you'd like to tell me precisely how you can refer to someone as "girly boy" without using a sexist frame of reference, since the term "girly boy" is sexist by definition. It's like saying, "I know a jigaboo when I see one, but it has nothing to do with racism." Seriously, I'm really curious to hear you explain.

I'd rather hear this than the Bob Marley that followed it tonight. People bitch about AD/DC only playing three chords. They're two chords ahead of Bob and his buddies.

I have been here over a year now and I have to agree.  Just realize you are in the minority.  There is plenty of eclectic, soulful and skillful hard rock and metal out there, at least we get a taste of it here.  But a lot of "high brow" open-minded music "afficianados" here will immediately label just about anything heavy or country-influenced as crap.  Their loss.

Wow Angus a 3 chord guitar player? wonder if that was same guy that said Santana only knows 6 notes. I'm not a huge metal band fan but AC/DC is one of the best
 
Maybe if that same guy was Angus himself:
"It's just rock and roll. A lot of times we get criticized for it. A lot of music papers come out with: 'When are they going to stop playing these three chords?' If you believe you shouldn't play just three chords it's pretty silly on their part. To us, the simpler a song is, the better, 'cause it's more in line with what the person on the street is."

Agreed, even though I'm not particularly a fan of their (recent) work.  I've been listening to RP now for about 1 month and don't believe I've ever heard AC/DC until now.  Representation of a wide range of musical genres is a good thing here on RP.  Kudos!

I think that's because the three chords they know don't lend themselves to ballads.  They know how to change the order of those three chords and lay them over the exact same drumming in every song pretty well...  but not quite sure they could write a ballad that way.

Ride On is the only song close to a ballad they recorded,  in the Bon Scott years.

Hmmm ... at first I coulda sworn it was "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner. But instead, it's something even worse — to me, anyway.
