The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead Lyrics

    Peter pumpkinhead came to town
    Spreading wisdom and cash around
    Fed the starving and housed the poor
    Showed the vatican what gold's for
    But he made too many enemies
    Of the people who would keep us on our knees
    Hooray for peter pumpkin
    Who'll pray for peter pumpkinhead?
    Oh my!
    Peter pumpkinhead pulled them all
    Emptied churches and shopping malls
    Where he spoke, it would raise the roof
    Peter pumpkinhead told the truth
    But he made too many enemies...
    Peter pumpkinhead put to shame
    Governments who would slur his name
    Plots and sex scandals failed outright
    Peter merely said
    Any kind of love is alright
    But he made too many enemies...
    Peter pumpkinhead was too good
    Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
    He died grinning on live tv
    Hanging there he looked a lot like you
    And an awful lot like me!
    But he made too many enemies...
    Hooray for peter pumpkin
    Who'll pray for peter pumpkin
    Hooray for peter pumpkinhead
    Oh my oh my oh!
    Doesn't it make you want to cry oh?
