Satellite Lyrics
The Hooters
Lyrics
Hush little baby, don't cry like that
God's gonna buy you a Cadillac
He's chosen you do do his will
You can spread the word in your coupe de ville
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Look to the heavens and see it shine
Heals the sick and leads the blind
Tune it in and hear it say
It's counting down to judgment day
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Hey, satellite man, your time has come
Your word received by everyone
And should you fall, well, that's okay
You love the ones that you betray
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And when at last you see the light
God's gonna by you a satellite
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And when at last you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Yeah, when at last you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Hey, God's gonna buy you a satellite
Look to the heavens and see it shine
