Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems
I Come From a Country
Notes: words and music
by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1966 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1994.
I come from a country
Where ev'ryone's happy,
If a million or so are out of joint,
That's not to the point.
I come from a country
That's cozy and comfy,
If a million have lives that go bare,
So who gives a care.
They're shoved out of sight where no one can see,
Cause everyone's head is stuck
In his T.V.
I come from a country
Where everything's lovely
What evil there is about the place
Has a familiar face.
I come from a country
That's flowing with bounty
With young men a plenty and to spare
All over everywhere.
They're shoveled away to an overseas war
While everyone's busy with
Buying a car.
