On the Road to Kingdom Come - Harry Chapin
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! Wow! The lead singers raucous As he screams out the truth Then the band hold a caucus And decides to sell their youth Our Manager he'll hawk us As along as we're uncouth And we'll call it revolution But we'll crank out Bubble Gum 'Cause there's the margin doom for travelers On the Road to Kingdom Come And all is said and done He's just another one Grampa swung into the orgy It was his last hope He was dressed to the nines In deodorant and scope And they found him a woman She brought vaseline and soap Well it started out exciting But it ended up ho hum She said, "I thought that you could take me All the way to Kingdom Come" When all is said and done He's just another one grampa So Billy sells hot sermons And cold wars through the mails While Mr. Big is selling out His business never fails And King Kennedy like Chaucer's Chasing Canterbury Tales And though my brain is still a virgin The rest of me is well done Don't you know we're all just travelers On the Road to Kingdom Come And just a, just a, just another one When all is said and done Yeah just 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! ...
