[Verse 1]

Hey, you say you like the way

The cowboys tip their hats and say

"How's it goin', ma'am?"

But you're never quite clear

If their glares are sincere

Or really only just second hand

To you, it's all roses, it's a lavender haze

The man is a marvel, it's a shame about his brains

But that's okay, you say

"He's got straight teeth and it's good sex"

[Chorus]

You look to the sky, you look to the man

You claim innocence and not to understand

Or do you?

Do you?

[Verse 2]

There's a big man wearing a white suit and patent leather shoes

He wants to take his monkeys to see the kids at the zoo

'Cause the gypsy on the corner said, "Hey, mister, you can't lose"

And it's your first day at the track

You feel that heat on your back

We all wanna find a way to beat the system, find some rhythm in the madness

[Chorus 2]

Get down on your knees and pray

Say, "I'll do whatever you want, God, just let me have my way"

Well, will you?

Will you?

[Bridge]

Come on all you merry men, rally your cry

Dance with the devil, for tomorrow, we'll surely

Hey, hey, blow the men down

[Verse 3]

You with all your cigarettes and cool stares

Filled with blank glares and loaded regrets

Just like the girls today with nothing to say, no more pigtails and pony rides

They're sophisticated, they sip on lattes and have their eyes on a bigger prize

[Chorus 2]

We shake our fists and say, "Well, good golly, we're mad

That God kills children with our very own hands"

We claim innocence and not to understand

Or do we?

Do we?

[Outro]

Come on all you merry men, rally your cry

Dance with the devil, for tomorrow, we'll surely

Hey, hey, blow the men down

Blow the men down

Hey
