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
