PUT YOUR HANDS UPON THE T.V. SCREEN
HOLD THEM THERE UNTIL YOU FEEL THE LOVE COMING THROUGH
SEE THE MAN WITH THE ROSY CHEEK
HE'S GOT A NEW SERMON EVERY WEEK
AND HE CARES ABOUT THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOU
BUT IF YOU LOOK BETWEEN THE LINES
SOME OF HIS WORDS WILL LOSE THEIR SHINE
IS SALVATION ONLY IN YOUR MIND?
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER)
THE PHONE LINES ARE OPEN AND HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER)
PUT YOUR SOUL IN THE CARE OF THE CABLE GURU
COMMUNICATION VIA MICROWAVE
PEFECT PICTURES OF A PLANET SAVED
CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING
PARANOIA, SCHIZOPHRENIA
THE CALLING CARDS OF THE MEDIA
FEEL THE FEAR THE OLD BOX WITH A NEW WRAPPING
EVERYDAY'S A LITTLE SCARIER
WE'RE CAUGHT UP IN A MASS HYSTERIA
IS IT REALLY SAFE WHERE YOU ARE?
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER )
THE PHONE LINES ARE OPEN AND HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER )
THE DEVINE HOTLINE WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER )
PUT YOUR SOUL IN THE CARE OF THE CABLE GURU
SO TURN UP YOUR RADIO SWITCH ON THAT NEW TALK SHOW
THEY WILL REVEAL THE WAY TO GO OR DON'T YOU KNOW
HEAR THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER )
THE PHONE LINES ARE OPEN AND HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER )
PUT YOUR SOUL IN THE CARE OF THE CABLE GURU
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER )
THE PHONE LINES ARE OPEN AND HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO
SAY THE MANTRA PRAYER (OVER AND OVER )
PUT YOUR SOUL IN THE CARE OF THE CABLE GURU
