Country Of Man - Wall Of Voodoo

I started out in 1954

«What the hell was it all for?»

He asked himself why-

«What the hell an I gonna do now

Drink gin all night or fight?»

He says this, he says that-

Why should I believe any of it?

I’m living in the country of man

I seen 'em lying down on their hands

I’m living in the country of man

I seen 'em lying, dying instead

Later on in 1955

Charlie was working the Roosevelt, so was I

«What the hell am I gonna do now

Raise these kids or leave the wife?»

He says this, he says that-

Why should I believe any of it?

I’m living in the country of man

I seen 'em lying down on their hands

I’m living in the country of man

I seen 'em lying, dying instead

Buh, buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh, buh

Buh, buh, Buh, buh

And the president says

«Buh, buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh

Buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh»

The premier replies:

«Buh, buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh

Buh, buh buh, Buh, buh»

Then the papers say

«Buh, buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh

Buh, buh buh, Buh, buh…
