Rem - Man-Sized Wreath lyrics

Turning on the TV and what do I see? A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me, wow! I'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! [Chorus] Throw it on the fire Throw it in the air Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care, oh Give me the sound Wave the palms, steal the alms, fists in the air A motorcade up benign shows the people that you care, ow! Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your ears? Your judgment clouded with fearful thoughts A headlights and a deer, ow! [Chorus] Look at what I've found Everybody look around Everybody looking like they just don't care, oh Give me the sound Well I'm not deceived by pomp and odious conceit But a tearful hymn to tug the heart And a man-sized wreath-ow! [Chorus] Look at what I've found Everybody look around Everybody looking like they just don't care [Chorus] Give me the sound Give me the sound Give me the sound
