G Turn on the TV and what do I see?
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me, wow C#7
G 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 C#7

Am Throw it on the fire, D throw it in the air
Bm Kick it out on the dance floor like you E just don’t care, oh
C Give G me D some

G Wave the palms, steal the alms, fists in the air
A motorcade on benign streets shows the people that you car, ow C#7
G Nature abhors the vacuum but what’s between your ears?
Your judgement clouded with fearful thoughts, headlights and a deer, ow C#7

Am Throw it on the fire, D throw it in the air
Bm Kick it out on the dance floor like you E just don’t care
Am Look at what I’ve found, D everybody look around
Bm Everybody’s looking like they E just don’t care, oh
C Give G me D some… G

G I’m not deceived by pomp and odious conceit
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart and a man-sized wreath, ow C#7

Am Throw it on the fire, D throw it in the air
Bm Kick it out on the dance floor like you E just don’t care
Am Look at what I’ve found, D everybody look around
Bm Everybody’s looking like they E just don’t care

Am Throw it on the fire, D throw it in the air
Bm Kick it out on the dance floor like you E just don’t care, oh
C Give G me D some
C Give G me D some
