G 
Turning on the TV and what do I see? 
                                                        F#    
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me – wow! 
G 
I’d have thought by now we would be ready to proceed 

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart 
                            F# 
And a man-sized wreath – ow! 

Am        
Throw it on the fire 
D 
Throw it in the air 
Bm                                      E 
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh 
Am   G     D 
Give me some 

G 
Wave the palms, still the arms, fists in the air 
                                                                    F# 
A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care – ow! 
G 
Nature abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears? 

Your judgement cluttered with fearful thoughts 
                             F# 
A headlights and a deer – ow! 

Am        
Throw it on the fire 
D 
Throw it in the air 
Bm                                      E 
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh 
Am   G     D 
Give me some 

G 
Well I’m not deceived by pomp and odious conceit 

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart 
                         F# 
And a man-sized wreath-ow! 

Am        
Throw it on the fire 
D 
Throw it in the air 
Bm                                      E 
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh 
Am 
Look at what I’ve found 
D 
Everybody look around 
Bm                     E 
Everybody looking like they just don’t care 

Am 
Throw it on the fire 
D 
Throw it in the air 
Bm                                      E 
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh 
Am   G     D 
Give me some 
Am   G     D 
Give me some 
Am   G     D 
Give me some 

Am   G     D
