Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down

Humpty Dumpty World

Our God looked down what did He see

The work of His mighty hand

Saying if this world should end it wouldn't hinder me

As I contemplate the works of man

I made man and woman I gave them simple tools

And all the channing creatures to keep their company

But they desired of things that was against the mIes

And television was the worst of all

Television was the worst of all

Lt's a humpty dumpty world a humpty dumpty wodd

A ball of confusion spinning around and around

I thought I had built upon a solid rock but it's just a humpty dumpty world

Rabble rousing politicians on the TV screen

Sowing the seeds of hate and fear

I 've heard it said you sow and you shall reap

Don't come crying to me when you fall

Craven minions sent from down below

Occupy the highest portals of the land

As swift is their dimb as sure is their decline

Straight back to heU from whence they came

!'m leaving heaven in the morning go ye and do likewise

Get your Coke jug boys bottle up and go

Teil the saints and angels wc're bound for Mexico

And laissez le bons temps rouler

Lt's a humpty dumpty world a humpty dumpty wodd

A ball of confusion spinning around and around

I thought I had built upon a solid rock but it's just a humpty dumpty world
