Goodbye To The Country |
| We’ll say goodbye to the old place |
| Don’t look at the faces left |
| I’m sure it’ll be good fun |
| Making money at your kids' expense |
| To a place where everything’s easy |
| Feeding my baby with stamps |
| And if they ask, why did you come? |
| (Don't you know) there’s a real war on? |
| (Did the papers not) tell you about it? |
| Don’t you worry, I will be fine |
| (With a knife at my neck and my very last dime) |
| I got a job in an office block |
| (With a swish canteen and an Oxbridge tie) |
| And if I get sick my sister will treat me |
| (I hear it’s all free and so a- f- f- easy) |
| And if they ask, why did you come? |
| (Don't you know) there’s a real war on? |
| (Did the papers not) tell you about it? |
| (Don't you know) there’s a real war on? |
| (Did the papers not) tell you? |
| And if they ask, why did you come? |
| And if they say I should go home |
| Send me back where I belong |
| Take a walk with me, I’ll show you some |
| (So you know) |
| (So you know) |
