Talking Heads - Big Country Lyrics

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,

(CHORUS)

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
...

(CHORUS)

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.
