All the trees have leafy palms Everyone on my TV's got hairy arms Your voice, it soothes, it really calms On TV we are dropping bombs
Bouncin' off church steeples
The president, he talks so long When I watch Congress, it's like watching ping pong From left to right; it's so sing-song We're acting like we are King Kong
Bouncin' off church steeples
Our boys' and girls' bodies are piling up like trash While the bullet, oil, and bomb-makers are raking in the cash They're at their cocktail parties acting really crass But if they ever sent their own kids, they'd shatter just like glass
Bouncin' off church steeples
The TV set, it placates me I got 500 channels, filling me with dread They etherize my body and send me off to bed
Bouncin' off church steeples
