We're Not In Kansas |
| What did you learn in school today |
| Did you learn to run when the teachers pray |
| Did they teach you enough to know the state you’re in |
| Not enough to get out, not enough to win |
| What did you learn at home today |
| Did you learn to hate in the proper way |
| Did your liberated parents patronize your friends |
| Cos they had enough money cos they had the right skin |
| I sat me down and wondered, what kind of place this really is |
| Well maybe it’s in the parks, maybe it’s in the stores |
| I know if we’re being honest, it’s in the people |
| But they’re all caught up in the traffic |
| Listening to the weather |
| Well dog, I know we’re not in Kansas — the sky’s all colored wrong |
| I know we’re not in Kansas — the days are all too long |
| I sure don’t understand this — that’s what you’re howling for |
| I know we’re not in Kansas, Kansas anymore |
| What did you learn in your job today |
| Did you learn to sleep while the boss is away |
| Did you shut your mouth when he called you down |
| Cos there’s not much work in that kind of town |
| I wander around thinking, well what kind of place is this |
| Where they say hey well what did you do in the war |
| And I ask well hey man well what did you do with the peace |
| Well we built these real safe weapons, so we could sleep with ease |
| Well dog, I know we’re not in Kansas—the sky’s all colored wrong |
| I know we’re not in Kansas — the days are all too long |
| I sure don’t understand this — that’s what you’re howling for |
| I know we’re not in Kansas, Kansas anymore |
| Well what kind of place is this |
| On the wrong side of the rainbow where the twisters never come |
| And they tore up all the yellow bricks and they sold them to Japan |
| And still the advertisers tell you, hey, there’s no place like home |
| Well dog, I know we’re not in Kansas — the sky’s all colored wrong |
| I know we’re not in Kansas — the days are all too long |
| I sure don’t understand this — that’s what you’re howling for |
| I know we’re not in Kansas, Kansas anymore |
| I know we’re not in Kansas — the sky’s all colored wrong |
| I know we’re not in Kansas — the days are all too long |
| I sure don’t understand this — that’s what you’re howling for |
| I know we’re not in Kansas, Kansas anymore |
