The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead Lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

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? 

Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame 

Governments who would slur his name 

Lusts and sex scandals failed outright 

Peter merely said, "Any kind of love is all right" 

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? 

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 

Of the people who would keep us on our knees 

Hooray for Peter Pumpkin 

Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead? 

Hooray for Peter Pumpkin 

Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin? 

Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead 

Oh my, oh my, don't it make you want to cry, oh
