and so the story begins
city dweller, successful fella
thought to himself, "oops, ive got a lot of money" (lot of money)
caught in a rat race terminally
im a professional cynic but my hearts not in it
im paying the price of living life at the limit (to the limit)
caught in the centurys anxiety
yes it preys on him (preys on him)
hes getting thin (getting thin) {tricycle life}
he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
he takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
oh, its like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
hes got morning glory and lifes a different story
everythings going jackanorry (jackanorry)
touched with his own mortality
hes reading balzac and knocking back prozac
its a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
(close your eyes child)
oh, its the centurys remedy
for the faint at heart (faint at heart)
a new start (new start) {tricycle life}
(blow, blow me out i am so sad i dont know why)
he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
hes got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
he doesnt drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
but youll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
in the country (doo doo doo)
in the country (doo doo doo)
in the country-y-y!
blow, blow me out i am so sad i dont know why
blow, blow me out i am so sad i dont know why
oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
he takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
oh, its like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
hes got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
he doesnt drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
yes youll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
ooh la la la
i wanna be, i wanna be {in the country})
