Hell Froze Over Today

They installed a condom dispenser at the Vatican
Yasser Arafat said he'd never wear that hat again
The Germans gave every holocaust survivor a Mercedes-Benz
And the Tutsis and the Hutus made amends
Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
They discovered Jimmy Hoffa in a houseboat on Lake Erie
Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory... was wrong
Woody Allen walked hand in hand with Louis Farrakhan
"Face The Nation" had Cindy Crawford and Bo Derek on
They put the faces of the Chicago Seven on a first class stamp
And they finished the goddamned Robertson off ramp
Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
They awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to Timothy Leary
Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory... was wrong
Uncle Sam made reparations for repressions great and small
By creating a society with liberty and dignity and equal opportunity and justice for all
Well, that "Earth Goddess" program on Channel 3 went national
Iran and Iraq became one country called Irrational
Every commuter in greater Los Angeles learned how to ride the bus
And the rich folks said, "Please tax the shit out of us."
Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
They served something tasty and nutritious in a high school cafeteria
Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory
Yeah, someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory... was wrong
