Don't Pray On Me

A grizzly scene on my electron beam

told a story about human rights

so all of Kings horses

and all of Kings 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 hester

and Mark David did it to John

and maybe Jack dit it to Marilyn

but he did it to South Vietnam

for beauty and glory

for money, love and country

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!

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 prey on me
