Scarecrow People - 2001 - Remaster

Hope you enjoyed your flight in one of our new straw aeroplanes
You'll find things here are just like what you're used to
There's lots of waste and razor wire, and no one gives a damn about the land
We just stand 'round and stare like you folks do

For we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts
It's just that wild old wind that tears us all apart
We're the scarecrow people, have we got lots in common with you
And if you don't start living well, you're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too

Hope you enjoyed your meal, it's only gas and chemicals
We thought that you'd prefer something not nature-made
Now while you're here, can you advise us on a war we'd like to start
Against some scarecrows over there, a different shade?

For we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts
It's just that wild old wind that tears us all apart
We're the scarecrow people, have we got lots in common with you
And if you don't start living well, you're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too

We don't have no tears here, no one hopes or cares or fears here
For the old, the sick, the poor and them what taint you
We thought we'd base our civilisation upon yours
'Cause you're the smartest animals on earth, now ain't you?

We don't have no love here, there's no need to rise above here
No one wants to write a book or try to paint thee
We thought we'd base our civilisation upon yours
'Cause we're all dead from our necks up, now ain't we?

And we ain't got no brains, and we ain't got no hearts
It's just that wild old wind that tears us all apart
We're the scarecrow people, have we got lots in common with you
And if you don't start living well, you're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too

And I ain't got no brains, and I ain't got no heart
It's just them other humans tear my soul apart
I'm a scarecrow person, have I got quite some message for you
For if we don't start learning well, we're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too, yeah
