Another Country
Lyricist:Phil Ochs
Oh, a rifle took its aim and a man fell to the ground He tried to stand again but everybody held him down A time of terror when the bullet pierced the air I know that couldn't happen here
Oh, it must have been another country Yes, it must have been another land That couldn't happen in the USA We'd never treat a man that way
And a migrant worker sweats underneath the blazin' sun He's fallen to his knees but his work is never done Begs someone to listen but nobody seems to care I know that couldn't happen here
Oh, it must have been another country Yes, it must have been another land That couldn't happen in the USA We'd never treat a man that way
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And a man is working steady, it's good money he receives But he's thrown out of work for the wrong things he believes He didn't have the thoughts most everybody shares I know that couldn't happen here
So it must have been another country Yes, it must have been another land That couldn't happen in the USA We'd never treat a man that way
And a man is sent to prison to wait until he dies He fights to save his life, for years and years he tries Even though he changed himself, he dies upon the chair I know that couldn't happen here
Oh, it must have been another country Yes, it must have been another land That couldn't happen in the USA We'd never treat a man that way Oh, I know we'd never treat a man that way
