Country Of Man Lyrics


Wall Of Voodoo 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'm living in the country of man.
I seen 'em lying, dying instead.

Later on in 1955

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,Buh, buh,
buh, buh buh, Buh, buh"

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