Written by bob welch.         We're livin a madhouse, you know   Digital religions' runnin' the whole show   See that guy over there   Rolling his eyes & tearing his hair   He controls deploymentof a thousand phantom jets   Slouching towards bethlehem   Up to his tricks   Dealing with a real b666      Were livin'in a madhouse, you know   Nothing works & the jerks are runnin' the whole show   See that guy over   Conversing with the empty air   Well he wrote all the programs on a million tape machines   Slouching towards bethlehem   Up to his tricks   Dealing with a real b666      Well you've seen him before, in the past   He was there at first, he'll be there at last   But I just couldn't help tryin' to warn ya   Cause he's slouching towards bethlehem to be born   You're just one of his million programming tricks   Dealing with a real b666
