R.E.M. - Man-Sized Wreath lyrics

Turn 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!

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 some

Wave the palms, steal the alms
Fists in the air
A motorcade up Ninth Street shows the
People that you care - ow!
Nature abhors a vacuum but
What's between your ears?
Your judgement clouded with fearful thoughts
A headlights and a deer - ow!

Throw it on the fire throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor
Like you just don't care
Look what I've found everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care
Oh give me some

Well I'm not deceived by
Pomp and odious conceit
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath-ow!

Throw it on the fire throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor
Like you just don't care
Look what I've found everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care
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 some give me some
Give me some
