The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead |
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town |
Spreading wisdom and cash around |
Fed the starving and housed the poor |
Showed the Vatican what gold’s for |
But he made too many enemies |
Of the people who would keep us on our knees |
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin |
Who’ll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead? |
Oh my! |
Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all |
Emptied churches and shopping malls |
When he spoke it would raise the roof |
Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth |
But he made too many enemies |
Of the people who would keep us on our knees |
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin |
Who’ll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead? |
Oh my! |
Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame |
Governments who would slur his name |
Plots and sex scandals failed outright |
Peter merely said any kind of love is alright |
But he made too many enemies |
Of the people who would keep us on our knees |
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin |
Who’ll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead? |
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good |
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood |
He died grinning on live TV |
Hanging there he looked a lot like you |
And an awful lot like me! |
But he made too many enemies |
Of the people who would keep us on our knees |
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin |
Who’ll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead? |
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin |
Who’ll pray for Peter Pumpkin? |
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead |
Oh my, oh my, oh! |
Don’t it make you want to cry, oh? |
