Gary Allen (August 2, 1936 – November 29, 1986) was an American conservative journalist.
As a student, Allen majored in history at Stanford University and studied at California State University, Long Beach. He was a prominent member of the John Birch Society, of which he was a spokesman. He contributed to magazines such as Conservative Digest and American Opinion since 1964. He also was the speech writer for George Wallace during the Alabama Governor Presidential campaigns and was adviser to the conservative Texas millionaire Nelson Bunker Hunt.
Allen was the father of four children, including Mike Allen, the political news journalist who, as a Politico reporter, writes in a less editorialised manner than his father.
Allen died in 1986, at the age of 50 of a liver ailment.
In 1972, Allen wrote with Larry Abraham None Dare Call It Conspiracy (prefaced by John G. Schmitz), a best seller. It is said to have sold over five million copies worldwide during the United States presidential election.[citation needed] An investigator of US financial, industrial, and political elites, he wrote other books about the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, claiming that the term "New World Order" was used by a secretive elite dedicated to the destruction of all national sovereignties. Allen's last book, Say "No!" to the new world order, was published posthumously in January 1987.
It's hard describing a heartache
Oh, cause it's a one of a kind thing
A serious injury
And a whole lot of endless pain
If it was a storm, I'd compare it to a hurricane
Oh, it's even got a name
Chorus:
If it was a drink
It would be a strong one
If it was sad song
It would a long one
If it was a color
It would be deep, deep blue
But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache
It would be you
If there was a full moon
It would be a total eclipse
And if it was a tidal wave
It would sink a thousand ships
If it was a blizzard
It would be record breaking cold
If it was a lie
It would be the biggest story you've ever told
Chorus
If it was a color
It would be deep, deep blue
But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache
It would be you
Man to Man
Sung by, Gary Allen
You're throwin' around a lot of serious accusations.
It ain't too hard to tell what you're insinuatin'.
You think I'm the one who stole her away.
If not for me she'd still be yours today.
We're both men here, so why play games?
Why don't we call a spade, a spade?
Man to man, tell me the truth. Tell me.
Were you ever there when she needed you?
Man to man, look me in the eye and tell me,
if you really loved her, why'd you make her cry?
Man to man, well who cheated who?
You're the one to blame, tell me it ain't true.
Man to man.
Man to man.
Well you think all your anger is just a fad.
Me I think it's just your wounded pride.
What did you really think she was gonna do?
She's a real woman, not a doormat for you.
You want her back, but it's too late.
Why don't we just cut to the chase?
Man to man, tell me the truth. Tell me.
Were you ever there when she needed you?
Man to man, look me in the eye and tell me,
if you really loved her, why'd you make her cry?
Man to man, well who cheated who?
You're the one to blame, tell me it ain't true.
Man to man.
Man to man, tell me the truth. Tell me.
Were you ever there when she needed you?
Man to man, look me in the eye and tell me,
if you really loved her, why'd you make her cry?
Man to man, well who cheated who?
You're the one to blame, tell me it ain't true.
Man to man.
Man to man.
Man to man, to man, to man, to man, to man, to man.
Man to man, to man, to man, to man, to man, to man.
