on the road to kingdom come
The Smoke Witch says, "Wahoo!" And the Wise Man says, "Me too!" And the Guru says, "Wazoo!" So do what you do!  The priests stand in their pulpits The Pope sits on his throne The parishes are empty And the choirboys on their own Until the second coming Yes, they're leaving us alone And God in His heaven Has decided to keep mum  'Cause He's just another traveler On the Road to Kingdom Come And all is said and done He's just another one  Pity Mr. President He can't do a thing He says everywhere he went We tried to make him sing Our lonely White House resident Says we should have made him King Maybe then he could have saved us From the truth we were hiding from  But he is just another traveler On the Road to Kingdom Come And all is said and done He was just another one  The General's in his game room But his Soldier won't salute Ever since he was promoted He can't pop his chute His shrink says he is paranoid 'Bout communistic roots So unfurl the flag boys Start beating his drum  Yes we've got to get another straggler On the Road to Kingdom Come And all is said and done He was just another one He's another one  And the Smoke Witch says, "Wahoo!"

And the Wise Man says, "Me too!" And the Guru says, "Wazoo!" So do what you do!  Do what you do! Do what you do! Do what you do! ...
