Touch your television set right now
The great TV preacher
Is selling salvation
On heavy rotation
From midnight ’ til noon
He smiles for the camera
And prays for the flock
While his wife leads the choir
That sing out of tune
One hand on the screen
The other deep in pockets
Screaming handle with prayer
But nothing’s going to stop
It’s a tragedy
The world in which we live in
So bad
The talk without the passion
We got to move (We got to move)
While there’s something left to prove
We better scream (You’d better scream)
From deep inside a dream
We’ve got to dance (We got to dance)
And given half a chance
You know you will
They’re no politician
So above suspicion
They’re all vile, worthless and low
We’ve conceived a Sunday shower
Then misuse their power
To sell us that old something that we already own
And I can’t get over
These virgin soldiers
Put the smile like a lid on a scream
At the treatments that drown
When the shit goes brown
Then hey that’s life on the poison train
It’s a tragedy
He, he, he, he
And I can’t turn my back on
It’s so bad
That we got to move (We got to move)
If there’s life, we’re going to choose
We better scream (You’d better scream)
From deep inside a dream
We’ve going to dance (We got to dance)
And given half a chance
You know you will
We got to move (We got to move)
If there’s life, we’re going to choose
We better scream (You’d better scream)
From deep inside a dream
We’ve got to promise to follow the truth (We got to dance)
And we’re the living proof
You know you will (We got to move)
You know you will (You better scream)
You know you will (We got to move)
When the world gets restless
