Scarecrow People - Lyrics by Xtc


Lyrics
Hope you enjoyed your flight in one of our new straw aeroplanes,you'll find things here are just like what you're used to.  There'slots 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 ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts, it's justthat wild old wind that tears us all apart.  We're the scarecrowpeople, have we got lots in common with you.  And if you don't startliving well, you're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.  Hope you enjoyed your meal it's only gas and chemicals, we thoughtthat you'd prefer something not nature made.  Now while you're here,can you advise us on a war we'd like to start, against some scarecrowsover there, a different shade?  For we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts, it's justthat wild old wind that tears us all apart.  We're the scarecrowpeople, have we got lots in common with you.  And if you don't startliving well, you're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.  We don't 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 thoughtwe'd base our civilization upon yours, 'cause you're the smartestanimals on earth, now ain't you?  We don't have no love here, there's no need to rise above here, noone wants to write a book or try to paint thee.  We thought we'd baseour civilization upon yours, 'cause we're all dead from our necks up,now ain't we?  And we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts, it's justthat wild old wind that tears us all apart.  We're the scarecrowpeople, have we got lots in common with you.  And if you don't startliving well, you're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.  And I ain't got no brains and I ain't got no heart, it's just themother humans tear my soul apart.  I'm a scarecrow person, have I gotquite some message for you.  For if we don't start learning well,we're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too!
