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  some
Wave  the palms, still the arms, fists in the air
 A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care – ow!
Nature  abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears?
 Your judgement cluttered 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, oh
Give me  some
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, oh
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  some
Give me  some
Give me  some
