era a canção que fechava o album "more songs about songs and food", e foi de certo modo a minha introdução ao universo de david byrne. o grande país ainda se canta?
I see the
shapes,
I remember from maps.
I see the shoreline.
I see the whitecaps.
A
baseball diamond, nice weather down there.
I see the school and the houses
where the kids are.
Places to park by the fac'tries and buildings.
Restaunts
and bar for later in the evening.
Then we come to the farmlands, and the
undeveloped areas.
And I have learned how these things work together.
I see the
parkway that passes through them all.
And I have learned how to look at these
things and I say,
I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
I couldn't live like
that, no siree!
I couldn't do the things the way those people do.
I couldn't
live there if you paid me to.
I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean.
I
guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends.
Look at that
kitchen and all of that food. Look at them eat it' guess it tastes real good.
They
grow it in the farmlands
And they take it to the stores
They put it in the car
trunk
And they bring it back home
And I say...
I say, I wouldn't live there if
you paid me.
I couldn't live like that, no siree!
I couldn't do the things the
way those people do.
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to.
I'm tired of
looking out the windows of the airplane
I'm tired of travelling, I want to be
somewhere.
It's not even worth talking
About those people down there.
