Country of Man
I started out in 1954
"What the hell was it all for?"
He asked himself why-
"What the hell an I gonna do now
Drink gin all night or fight?"
He says this, he says that-
Why should I believe any of it?

I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying down on their hands
I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying, dying instead

Later on in 1955
Charlie was working the Roosevelt, so was I
"What the hell am I gonna do now
Raise these kids or leave the wife?"
He says this, he says that-
Why should I believe any of it?

I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying down on their hands
I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying, dying instead
Buh, buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh, buh
Buh, buh,Buh, buh

And the president says
"Buh, buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh
Buh, buh, buh, Buh, buh"

The premier replies:
"Buh, buh, buh, buh,Buh, buh
Buh, buh buh, Buh, buh"

Then the papers say
"Buh, buh, buh, buh,Buh, buh
Buh, buh buh, Buh, buh....
