The Son of Man was born again but maybe
One furnace hot day in July
And we innocents were slaughtered by our VPs
A move suggested by the Wise
I was there
Heard ev'ry word was said and what a sight
To see with my own eyes
Between the weather and the scores
The child arrived with the tidings of a buyout
We fired up Camels and were fired by cigars
Herod ran for a second term in office
Hollywood rolled out some big new star
I was there
Heard ev'ry word was said and what a sight
To see with my own eyes
Between the weather and the scores
The asses on TV cite stable prices
With sheepish grins we follow along
The Carpenters won't strike
Must've got everything they like
All the old tales come out sounding wrong
The Promised One showed up with his entourage
There was no room on the inside anymore
Angels appeared on TV and store shelves
Hawked between the weather and the scores
I was there
Heard ev'ry word was said and what a sight
To see with my own eyes
I was there
Heard ev'ry word was said
Ev'ry printed piece I read
Ev'ry network talking head
I was there
To see with my own eyes
Before stories were revised
And alibis analyzed
I was there
Between the weather and the scores
Between the weather and the scores
Between the weather and the scores
