I can't touch the TV
Since what they're showing me
Is just their take on reality
Which I don't want to know
I'd switch it on if Hicks was there
Cigarette in mouth, hand in hair
Telling the truth in matters where
It was never told
Hemmed in by the vision of your country
Set free by the power of a joke
The things you say get sweeter everyday
They paint a rainbow around this globe
Maybe Bill had some problems
But that didn't stop him
From looking how to solve them
For a better world
He used his explosive wit
On hypocritical bullshit
Struck a light and stood back from it
And watched it blow
He knew what we need to fight against unreason
A heart
A voice
A mic
A soul
The things you say get sweeter everyday
They paint a rainbow around this globe
Around this globe
Now look where we're going
The problems we're sowing
There's just one thing I'm knowing
We need you so
Hemmed in by the vision of your country
Set free by the power of a joke
The things you said get sweeter though you're dead
They paint a rainbow around this globe
