All the people on the village green
Have gathered round their TV screens
To hear their government about to speak
About soldier boys and jesus freaks
They go to heaven on their holidays
The congregation hopes and prays
They leave their letters in the mail box
For lonely souls they could not save
Off and on I used hear the call
When she was just a baby doll
And all around the world the holy men
Will twist the word of way back when
She will kiss the sky and shelter all the world from the rain
Put on a record on the jukebox
And she might dance the night away
On and on we go
But the restless world outside
May soon explode
And there is no place we might hide?
On and on we go
But the rest of the world outside
May soon explode
And there's no place we might hide?
And on we go 'till we kiss this world goodbye?
On and on and on and on and on...
