Big Country - We’re Not in Kansas Lyrics
What did you learn in school todayDid you learn to run when the teachers prayDid they teach you enough to know the state you're inNot enough to get out, not enough to winWhat did you learn at home todayDid you learn to hate in the proper wayDid your liberated parents patronize your friendsCos they had enough money, cos they had the right skinI wander 'round thinking, well, what kind of place is thisWell maybe it's in the parks, maybe it's in the storesBut I know if we're being honest, it's in the peopleBut they're all caught up in the trafficListening to the weatherWell dog, I know we're not in Kansas—the sky's all colored wrongI know we're not in Kansas—the days are all too longI sure don't understand this—that's what you're howling forI know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymoreWhat did you learn in your job todayDid you learn to sleep while the boss is awayDid you shut your mouth when he called you downCos there's not much work in that kind of townI wander around thinking, well what kind of place is thisWhere they say hey well what did you do in the warAnd I ask well hey man well what did you do with the peaceWell we built these real safe weapons, so we could sleep with easeWell dog, I know we're not in Kansas—the sky's all colored wrongI know we're not in Kansas—the days are all too longI sure don't understand this—that's what you're howling forI know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymoreWell what kind of place is thisOn the wrong side of the rainbow where the twisters never comeAnd they tore up all the yellow bricks and they sold them to JapanAnd still the advertisers tell you, hey, there's no place like homeWell dog, I know we're not in Kansas—the sky's all colored wrongI know we're not in Kansas—the days are all too longI sure don't understand this—that's what you're howling forI know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymoreI know we're not in Kansas—the sky's all colored wrongI know we're not in Kansas—the days are all too longI sure don't understand this—that's what you're howling forI know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymore
