"Unseen Power Of The Picket Fence"

Some bands I like to name check
And one of them is R.E.M.
Classic songs with a long history
Southern boys, just like you and me
R.E.M.

Flashback, it's nineteen eighty-three
Chronic Town was their first EP
Later on came Reckoning
Finster'sart and titles to match
South Central Rain
Don't Go Back to Rockville
Harborcoat
Pretty Persuasion
You're born to be a camera

Time After Time was my least favorite song
Time After Time was my least favorite song

The singer, he had long hair
And the drummer, he knew restraint
And the bass man, he had all the right moves
And the guitar player was no saint

So let's go way back
To the ancient times
When there were no fifty states
And on a hill, there stands Sherman
Sherman and his mates

And they're marching through Georgia (marching through Georgia)
They're marching through Georgia (G-G-G-G-Georgia)
They're marching through Georgia (marching through Georgia)
Marching through Georgia (G-G-G-G-Georgia)
And there stands R.E.M.
