GTurning on the TV and what do I see?
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me – wow!F#  
GI’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!F#  
AmThrow it on the fire
DThrow it in the air
BmKick it out on the dance-floor like you Ejust don’t care, oh
AmGive Gme somDe
GWave the palms, still the arms, fists in the air
A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care – owF#!
GNature abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears?
Your judgement cluttered with fearful thoughts
A headlights and a deer – ow!F#  
AmThrow it on the fire
DThrow it in the air
BmKick it out on the dance-floor like you Ejust don’t care, oh
AmGive Gme somDe
Riff1
GWell I’m not deceived by pomp and odious conceit
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath-owF#!
AmThrow it on the fire
DThrow it in the air
BmKick it out on the dance-floor like you Ejust don’t care, oh
AmLook at what I’ve found
DEverybody look around
BmEverybody looking like Ethey just don’t care
AmThrow it on the fire
DThrow it in the air
BmKick it out on the dance-floor like you Ejust don’t care, oh
AmGive Gme somDe
