Turning on the TV and what do I see?
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me - wow!
I'd have thought by now we would
be ready to proceed
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath - ow!
Throw it on the fire
Throw
it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care, oh
Give me the sound
Wave the palms, steal the
alms, fists in the air
A motorcade up benign shows the people that you care - ow!
Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your
ears?
Your judgement clouded with fearful thoughts
A headlights and a deer - ow!
Throw it on the fire
Throw it
in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care
Look at what I've found
Everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care, oh
Give me the sound
Well I'm not deceived by pomp and odious conceit
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath-ow!
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick
it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care
Look at what I've found
Everybody look around
Everybody looking like
they just don't care
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't
care, oh
Give me the sound
Give me the sound
Give me the sound
