Verse

------ |3X

A grizzly scene on my electron beam

Told a story about human rights

So all of King's horses and all of King's 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

Now 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 pray on me

Said everybody's praying

Don't pray on me
