lyrics

spent time in a land that’s overrun
by prophecies of what’s to come
and seen that the news is not all grim
but it sure as hell ain’t good

in one burned-out convenience store
people murdered by the score
the horror that i stood before
i had not understood

this sacred show came on
that night at nine
that’s primetime
gather round my children

i’m not familiar with his dialect
so i could be incorrect
but i believe he’s telling me
what’s on tv tonight

this must be some sacred show
that premiered so long ago
for why else would he tell me
what’s on tv tonight?

this sacred show came on
that night at nine
that’s primetime
gather round my children
lo and behold! lo and behold!

it’s on the tv screen
i’m not allowed to see
and when i looked through the window
i could not believe what i’d seen

cell phone towers all aflame
they act as if it were a game
and in their eyes a fire burns
but no one speaks it’s name

i would leave if i were you
i would but i can’t i have work to do
i’m coming close to a breakthrough
and getting near the end

this sacred show came on
that night at nine
that’s primetime
gather round my children
lo and behold! lo and behold!
