XTC - SCARECROW PEOPLE Lyrics

Hope you enjoyed your flightIn one of our new straw
aeroplanesYou'll find things here are just likeWhat
you're used toThere's lots of waste and razor wireAnd
no one gives a damn about the landWe just stand around
and stareLike you folks doFor we ain't got no brainsAnd
we ain't got no heartsIt's just that wild old windThat
tears us all apartWe're the scarecrow peopleHave we
got lots in common with youAnd if you don't start living
wellYou're all gonna wind up scarecrow people tooHope
you enjoyed your mealIt's only gas and chemicalsWe
thought that you'd preferSomething not nature madeNow
while you're here can you advise usOn a war we'd like
to startAgainst some scarecrows over thereA different
shade?For we ain't got no brainsAnd we ain't got no
heartsIt's just that wild old windThat tears us all
apartWe're the scarecrow peopleHave we got lots in
common with youAnd if you don't start living wellYou're
all gonna wind up scarecrow people tooWe don't have
no tears here, no one hopes or cares or fears hereFor
the old, the sick, the poor and them what taint youWe
thought we'd base our civilization upon yours'Cause
you're the smartest animals on earth,
now ain't you?We don't have no love here,
there's no need to rise above hereNo one wants to write
a book or try to paint theeWe thought we'd base our
civilization upon yours'Cause we're all dead from our
necks up, now ain't we?And we ain't got no brainsAnd
we ain't got no heartsIt's just that wild old windThat
tears us all apartWe're the scarecrow peopleHave we
got lots in common with youAnd if you don't start living
wellYou're all gonna wind up scarecrow people tooAnd
I ain't got no brainsAnd I ain't got no heartIt's just
them other humansTear my soul apartI'm a scarecrow
personHave I got quite some message for youFor if we
don't start learning wellWe're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too
