Verse
A G5grizzly F#5scene on my eE5lectron D5beam
Told a C5story G5about human D5rights
So G5all of King's F#5horses and E5all of King's D5men
Had a C5riot for two G5days and D5nights
Well, the G5city F#5exploded but the E5gates wouldn't D5open
So the C5company G5asked him to D5quit
Now G5everyF#5body's eE5qual D5
C5Just don't D5measure G5it
Chorus
Well, Hanson did it to Hester
And Mark David did it to John
And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
But he did it to South Vietnam
For beauty and glory
For money, love, and country
Now everybody's doing it
Don't do that to me
Verse
A bitter debate and a feminine fate
Lie in tandem like two precious babes
While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters
Except on the nation's airwaves
And custodians of public opinion stayed back
After vainly discussing her rights
Lay hands off her body
It's not your fucking life
Verse
Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
From turning every hungry stone into bread
And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted
When the innocent first born sons lay dead
Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative
Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea
Chorus
Now everybody's praying
Don't pray on me
Said everybody's praying
Don't pray on me
