Story behind the song
Fifteen years ago, we made fun of ourselves now.
Lyrics
You want peace on earth You want to feed the nations You want a virgin birth And three weeks’ vacation You want to ditch that guilt You want to live the mirage You want the house that Jack built And a two-car garage You can’t have your cake—not if you eat it You’re always on the take—but you don’t need it Every Sunday you make your peace with God Your charity’s a fake—now ain’t that odd? You love your wife, you’re happy with life It’s easy to give if it don’t change how you live You don’t know how you should feel It used to be so easy But now the news is real And it makes you feel queasy They want the shirt off your back Your soul won’t let you alone Just let them slip through the cracks Don’t ask them into your home You can’t have your cake—not if you eat it You’re always on the take—but you don’t need it Every Sunday you make your peace with God Your charity’s a fake—now ain’t that odd? You love your wife, you’re happy with life It’s easy to give so that others may live You’re not hungry or cold, but is that a crime? You got yours, I got mine, in a two-car garage
