    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, oww

    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, still the arms
    Fists in the air
    A motorcade of a night strings
    Shows the people that you care, oww

    Nature abhors a vacuum
    But what's between your ears

    Your judgment cluttered with fearful thoughts
    A headlights and a deer, oww

    Throw it on the fire
    Throw it in the air
    Kick it out on the dance floor
    Like you just don't care

    Look at 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, oww

    Throw it on the fire
    Throw it in the air
    Kick it out on the dance floor
    Like you just don't care

    Look at 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
