Country Of Man |
| 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… |
