Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks

All the people on the village green

Have gathered 'round their TV screens

To hear the government about to speak

For soldier boys and Jesus freaks

They go to heaven on their holidays

The congregation hopes and prays

They leave their letters in the mailbox

For lonely souls they could not save

Off and on I used to hear the call

But she was just a baby doll

And all around them were the holy men

Who twist the words of way back when

She will kiss the sky and shelter all the world from the rain

Put on a record on the jukebox

She might dance the night away

On and on we go

But the restless world outside may soon explode

And there's no place we might hide

On and on we go

But the rest of the world outside may soon explode

And there's no place we might hide

And on we go

And we kiss this world goodbye

And on and on and on and on

All the people on the village green

Are gathered 'round their TV screens

To hear the government about to speak

For soldier boys and Jesus freaks
