Lyrics Another Land - The Residents

Another Land

I heard a rumor from the east
That Pit Moles' battles with the beast
Have left them mindless and sick
That west is where, their fingers say
Are new found sites that give them something to cling to
The rumors have them coming here
Believing life is not so harsh
Life not so harsh, indeed
A hundred thousand refugees?
The Pit Moles are coming, I heard just today
Our problems with labor have just been done away with
The Pit Moles will work hard and we’ll barely pay
So eager to get work, they’ll do things just the way we want
The Pit Moles are thrifty, their gods reassure
That poverty’s blissful;
they like being destitute
Let my children live in a holy land
Let my children live in a holy land
Need work?
Need work?
Sign here, sign here
Come on over
Sign here
Need work?
Well, over there?
Come on, come over here
Come on, let’s go
Leave him alone
Sorry, sorry, that’s all we need now
Sorry, sorry, that’s all we need
No… no… no more work now
The rest of you please leave
Go away
