lyrics

I long to be a grand actor in the sky
Nobody understands exactly why
They've brought me up instead to be fearful of my head
When will it be said that I have no regrets?

Twelve minutes pass and the clock will strike ten
The day is now over, go off to bed
Corporal Lopsided, hat is on his head
Screw your name into the fame and say that again

Listen to the people, now
The thespians of truth
What they portray to you
is good enough to use

He's writing out a story
full of holes and empty wit
And soon he'll be performing
Up in the great pulpit

A teller of great stories
With an office on the street
Grovels and prostrates himself,
he's the perfect man to beat

The centuries of the people
Step down upon his head
As I look down and sing a hymn,
Finding comfort in nothing
