Like all great pornography, this story is touching
It's somethin' that I wanna see
(Black and gold tile, champagne flute)
Good time Charlie
(Sauna water dirtying the birthday suits)
(Sauna water dirtying the birthday suits)
Charlie says, "Turn up that TV, there's somethin' I wanna see"
In Vegas, the topless genuflect in the jacuzzi
(Five o'clock shadow, desert landscape)
Good time Charlie
(The party politician has a hero's face)
(Fight the red army, save the human race)

Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god

He's an implacable machine
Got a woman naked on the mezzanine
A lady in waitin' but Charlie, the mujahideen
And Joanne, your queen
Good time Charlie
(Helen of Troy, your helicopter lands)
(An honor is to serve at your command)

Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
The same god

Years from now, he's gonna be
Half-drunk in this office on fine whiskey
Do you cry for Joanna or Afghanistan, Charlie?
Contrition is a great American, Charlie

Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
The same god

Good versus evil of stories we tell
We're the only ones who never, ever go to hell
It's not the kind of stock and trade we sell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell

Priests

A priest is a religious leader authorized to perform the sacred rituals of a religion, especially as a mediatory agent between humans and one or more deities. They also have the authority or power to administer religious rites; in particular, rites of sacrifice to, and propitiation of, a deity or deities. Their office or position is the 'priesthood', a term which also may apply to such persons collectively. A priest may have the duty to hear confessions periodically, give marriage counseling, provide prenuptial counseling, give spiritual direction, teach catechism, or visit those confined indoors, such as the sick in hospitals and nursing homes. more »
