So they paved the road to providence 
And lined up the memories 
In reference to what was dead and gone 
Then the band and the symphony 
In sweet sounding harmony 
Lay down their guns in disgust 
For they knew their armies at last 

So haven't we seen enough 
On the cover of 
Haven't we had our fun 
Watching on the TV screens, oh yeah 

So we harbor our hopes and fears 
In houses and evergreens 
Cast adrift, what we dont need 
Then the rhythm of tambourine 
And drama of marching scene 
Lay down their violence in [bad word] 
For they knew how much the cost 

So haven't we seen enough 
On the cover of 
Haven't we had our fun 
Watching on the TV screens 

For when all is said and done and our [bad word] 
Then [bad word]
