Lyrics

A grizzly scene on my electron beam
Told a story about human rights
So all the kings horses
And all the kings men had a riot
For two days and nights
Well, the city exploded
But the gates wouldn't open
So the company asked him to quit
Now everybody's equal
Just don't measure it

Well hanson did it to hester
And mark david did it to john
And maybe jack did it to marilyn
But he did it to south vietnam
For beauty and glory
For money, love, and country
Everybody's doing it
Don't do that to me

A bitter debate and a feminine fate
Lie in tandem like two precious babes
While the former gets warmer
It's the latter that matters
Except on the nation's airwaves
And custodians of public opinion
Stayed back after vainly discussing her rights
Lay hands off her body
It's not your fucking life!

Now I don't know what stopped
Jesus christ from turning
Every hungry stone into bread
And I don't remember hearing how moses
Reacted when the innocent first born sons lay dead
Well I guess god was a lot more demonstrative back when
He flamboyantly parted the sea
Now everybody's praying
Don't prey on me
