歌词
[Verse 1]
I pity the country
I pity the state
And the mind of a man
Who thrives on hate
[Verse 2]
Small are the lives
Of cheats and of liars
Of bigoted news press
Fascist town criers
[Verse 3]
Deception annoys me
Deception destroys me
The Bill of Rights throws me
Jails, they all know me
[Verse 4]
Frustrated are churchmen
The saving of soul men
Tinker, the tailor
The colonial governor
[Verse 5]
They rape and they beat me
Seeking to draw me
Away from the roundness
Of this life
[Verse 6]
Silly civil servants
They thrive off my body
Their trip is with power
Back bacon and welfare
[Verse 7]
Police, they arrest me
Materialists detest me
Pollution, it chokes me
Movies, they joke me
[Verse 8]
Politicians exploit me
City life, it jades me
Hudson's Bay fleeces me
Hunting laws freak me
[Verse 9]
Government is stumbling
Revolution is rumbling
To be ruled in impunity
Is tradition continuity
[Verse 10]
I pity the country
I pity the state
And the mind of a man
Who thrives on hate
[Verse 11]
I pity this country
[Verse 12]
I pity the country
I pity the state
And the mind of a man
Who thrives on hate
[Verse 13]
Small are the lives of those
Cheats and liars
Of bigoted news press
Fascist town criers
[Verse 14]
I pity the country
I pity the state
And the mind of a man
Who thrives on hate
[Verse 15]
I pity the country
I pity the state
