NEW COUNTRY
(Guilherme Sal)
Me and my friends we’re building
a whole new place for us to live
and it’s not a small shotgun shack on a hill
it’s a new country.
Me and my friends we’re making
a whole new state that we can run.
We got washing machines and drum machines
and machine guns.
Me and my friends we’re fixing
a whole new land where you can hide
and it’s just bellow the open arms
of Jesus Christ.
You can even say that we ain’t here to stay,
but as long as the kid pays
and the old man says that this ain’t the right way, ain’t the free way
we’re gonna be here.
Me and my friends we are dropping
new lines along the way,
and pretty soon you’ll gonna have to buy a new map
for your kid’s school sake.
Cause it is the way things work today,
everyone can save the day
taking cars out of the streets
and selling starships on Ebay.
And you can even say that we ain’t here to stay,
but as long as the kid pays
and the old man says that this ain’t the right way, ain’t the free way
we’re gonna be here.
