Phil Ochs - Another Country Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Oh, a rifle took its aim and a man fell to the ground.
  • He tried to stand again but everybody held him down:
  • A time of terror when the bullet pierced the air --
  • I know that couldnt happen here.
  • Oh, it must have been another country --
  • Yes, it must have been another land.
  • That couldnt happen in the u.s.a.
  • Wed never treat a man that way.
  • And a migrant worker sweats underneath the blazin sun.
  • Hes fallen on his knees but his work is never done.
  • He begs someone to listen but nobody seems to care,
  • And I know that couldnt happen here.
  • Oh, it must have been another country --
  • Yes, it must have been another land.
  • That couldnt happen in the u.s.a.
  • Wed never treat a man that way.
  • And a man is working steady, its good money he receives
  • But hes thrown out of work for the wrong things he believes.
  • He didnt have the thoughts most everybody shares.
  • I know that couldnt happen here,
  • So it must have been another country --
  • Yes, it must have been another land.
  • That couldnt happen in the u.s.a.
  • Wed never treat a man that way.
  • And a man is sent to prison to wait until he dies.
  • He fights to save his life, for years and years he tries.
  • Even though he changed himself he dies upon the chair.
  • I know that couldnt happen here.
  • Oh, it must have been another country --
  • Yes, it must have been another land.
  • That couldnt happen in the u.s.a.
  • Wed never treat a man that way.
  • Oh, I know wed never treat a man that way.
