Xtc - Scarecrow People Lyrics
Hope you enjoyed your flight,In one of our new straw aeroplanes,Youll find things here are just like what youre used to.Theres lots of waste and razor wire,And no one gives a damn about the land,We just stand around and stare like you folks do.For we aint got no brains,And we aint got no hearts,Its just that wild old wind that tears us all apart.Were the scarecrow people,Have we got lots in common with you.And if you dont start living well,Youre all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.Hope you enjoyed your meal,Its only gas and chemicals,We thought that youd prefer something not nature made.Now while youre here can you advise us,On a war wed like to start,Against some scarecrows over there, a different shade?For we aint got no brains,And we aint got no hearts,Its just that wild old wind that tears us all apart.Were the scarecrow people,Have we got lots in common with you.And if you dont start living well,Youre all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.We dont have no tears here,No one hopes or cares or fears here,For the old, the sick, the poor and them what taint you.We thought wed base our civilization upon yours,cause youre the smartest animals on earth, now aint you?We dont have no love here,Theres no need to rise above here,No one wants to write a book or try to paint thee.We thought wed base our civilization upon yours,cause were all dead from our necks up, now aint we?And we aint got no brains,And we aint got no hearts,Its just that wild old wind that tears us all apart.Were the scarecrow people,Have we got lots in common with you.And if you dont start living well,Youre all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.And I aint got no brains,And I aint got no heart,Its just them other humans tear my soul apart.Im a scarecrow person,Have I got quite some message for you.For if we dont start learning well,Were all gonna wind up scarecrow people too!
