Come gather round and listen, if you can get that near

If not, we'll use a microphone so all poor souls can hear

And hold hands in a circle, or stare bored straight ahead

Rejoice in your rebellion, or wish you were in bed



Come gather round and liten, or watch it on the screen

The campfire burned out long ago, the songs all got obscene

And left us with some rich kids trying hard to be sincere

Let it fly straight out the other after going in one ear





Come gather round--from the kings and the queens on down

If you listen close, you can hear the sound

Of a human voice saying
