Andy Partridge - Scarecrow People 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's 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 ain't got no brains And we ain't got no hearts It's just that wild old wind That tears us all apart We're the scarecrow people Have we got lots in common with you And if you don't start living well You're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too Hope you enjoyed your meal It's only gas and chemicals We thought that 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 scarecrows over there A different shade? For we ain't got no brains And we ain't got no hearts It's just that wild old wind That tears us all apart We're the scarecrow people Have we got lots in common with you And if you don't start living 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 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 here No one wants to write a book or try to paint thee We 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 brains And we ain't got no hearts It's just that wild old wind That tears us all apart We're the scarecrow people Have we got lots in common with you And if you don't start living 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 them other humans Tear my soul apart I'm a scarecrow person Have I got quite some message for you For if we don't start learning well We're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too
