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
