Turn on the TV, 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 - oww!
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, steal the alms,
a fist in the air
A motorcade of benign strength shows
the people that you care - owww!
Nature abhors a vacuum,
but what's between your ears?
Your judgement clouded
with fearful thoughts
headlights and a deer - oww!
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 found
Everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care
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-oww!
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 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
Give me some
Give me some
Give me some
