Lyrics for Another Country by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Another Country | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 50 | | | | Lyrics: | Oh, a rifle took its aim and a man fell to the ground.
He tried to stand again but everybody
held him down:
A time of terror when the bullet pierced the air --
I know that couldn't
happen here.
Oh, it must have been another country --
Yes, it must have been another
land.
That couldn't happen in the U.S.A.
We'd never treat a man that
way.
And a migrant worker sweats underneath the blazin' sun.
He's fallen on his knees
but his work is never done.
He begs someone to listen but nobody seems to care,
And I
know that couldn't happen here.
Oh, it must have been another country --
Yes, it
must have been another land.
That couldn't happen in the U.S.A.
We'd never treat a
man that way.
And a man is working steady, it's good money he receives
But he's thrown
out of work for the wrong things he believes.
He didn't have the thoughts most everybody
shares.
I know that couldn't happen here,
so it must have been another country
--
Yes, it must have been another land.
That couldn't happen in the U.S.A.
We'd never treat a man that way.
And a man is sent to prison to wait until he dies.
He
fights to save his life, for years and years he tries.
Even though he changed himself he dies
upon the chair.
I know that couldn't happen here.
Oh, it must have been another
country --
Yes, it must have been another land.
That couldn't happen in the
U.S.A.
We'd never treat a man that way.
Oh, I know we'd never treat a man that way. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
