Lyrics

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, buhAnd 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....
