Talking Heads - The Big Country Lyrics
I see the shapes,I remember from maps.I see the shoreline.I see the whitecaps.A baseball diamond, nice weather down there.I see the school and the houses where the kids are.Places to park by the factries and buildings.Restaunts and bar for later in the evening.Then we come to the farmlands, and the undeveloped areas.And I have learned how these things work together.I see the parkway that passes through them all.And I have learned how to look at these things and I say,(chorus)I wouldnt live there if you paid me.I couldnt live like that, no siree!I couldnt do the things the way those people do.I couldnt live there if you paid me to.I guess its healthy, I guess the air is clean.I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends.Look at that kitchen and all of that food.Look at them eat it guess it tastes real good.They grow it in the farmlandsAnd they take it to the storesThey put it in the car trunkAnd they bring it back homeAnd I say ...(chorus)I say, I wouldnt live there if you paid me.I couldnt live like that, no siree!I couldnt do the things the way those people do.I wouldnt live there if you paid me to.Im tired of looking out the windows of the airplaneIm tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere.Its not even worth talkingAbout those people down there.Goo goo ga ga gaGoo goo ga ga ga
