- Big Country Were Not in Kansas 歌詞
- Big Country
- -Recorded 28 August 1995 at Rotown in Rotterdam, Netherlands (aka 'The Sheepshaggers' show)-
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 the right money cos they had the right skin
I wondered round and thinking,well what kind of place is this
Well maybe it's in the parks,or maybe it's in the stores
But I know if we're being honest, it's in the people,yeah
And 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 coloured wrong
I know we're not in Kansas—the nights 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
You shut your mouth when he calls you down
Cos there's not much work in that kind of town
I wander around thinking, what kind of place is this
Where they say hey well what did you do in the war
I ask them well hey man well what did you do with the peace
Well we built these real safe weapons, so you could sleep with ease
Well dog, I know we're not in Kansas—the sky's all coloured wrong
I know we're not in Kansas—the nights are all too long
I sure don't understand this—that's what you're howling for
I know we'renot in Kansas, Kansas anymore
-Introducing band members-
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 coloured wrong
I know we' re not in Kansas—nights 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
