Kalhoun Songtext / Lyric

it's the magic word, they claim
came down from ancient babylon
when the tower of babel crumbled
and the language was all wrong
the natives were confused and yet
they understood one word
now it's on display in a mall museum
down in South Pittsburgh

Kalhoun, everybody cry Kalhoun

some preacher says it's the first word
that adam said to eve
religious tracts and bulletins note
"speak it and believe"
some say it's just deception
empty and absurd
while the elect say the last times
were triggered by the word

Kalhoun
yeah evervbody sings Kalhoun
don't know exactly what it means
it's just a sacred kinda thing - Kalhoun

now when carpenters hit their thumbs
they yell out loud the "Kalhoun" curse
and the faithfull flock to pa.
to bow to Lord Kalhoun the first
he says "Messiah's in the desert"
but a few of us won't go
we're going down to the Kalhourn church
to pray it isn't so

Kalhoun is the thing - now everybody sing Kalhoun

and even the president says it's a miracle
"Kalhoun" the nation cries, "you're a miracle"
on baseball cards, beer and cars and cereal
Kalhoun is the word, now everybody's heard
Kalhoun

some politician has an idea to take a million men
go downtown los angeles and build the tower again
why nothing can stop us this time
we'll mount the word on high
spell K-A-L-H-O-U-N across the steel gray sky

Kalhoun, now everybody sing kalhoun
don't know exactly what it means
it's just a sacred kinka thing
Kalhoun, etc
