Graham Parker - Everyone's Hand Is On The Switch Lyrics

Everyone's hand is on the switch
Up above there's a leaden sky
Everyone's thinking of the witch
Get ready, make someone cry

Ooh, they all laughed when the pope got on the phone
Ooh and the president pretends that he's not home

Everyone's hand is on the switch
While the cameras waited outside
Let's hope there is another hitch
Last time the guy didn't die

Ooh, while the nation is holding back its breath
Ooh, Mr. Sullivan is holding still for death
And if you wanna get scared, look at that chair
Feel that power run through, ooh yeah

Oh, the switch

Everyone's hand is on the switch
Come on people, pull together now
Then we can go down to the beach
As the Florida sunshine comes out

Ooh, where's the popcorn? The soft drinks and the fudge
Ooh, don't worry, they'll be comin' soon, give that switch a nudge
And if you wanna get scared, look at that chair
Feel that power run through, ooh yeah

Everyone's hand is on the switch
What a swelling execution
Sweet revenge is such a bitch
Dance to the execution

Everyone's hand is on the switch
Everyone's hand is on the switch
Everyone's hand is on the switch

Everyone's hand is on the switch
Everyone's hand is on the switch
Everyone's hand is on the switch
