Текст Big Country – I Am A Small Republic
Текст:
I am
I am
I am a brand new free democracy
The world sends words of hope and good will to me
Send their finest con men to comment on the big parade
I am the favorite posting of the finest diplomats
And they educate me in the ways of our brother rats
I am the playground of the wealthy
A diamond in a sapphire sea
And they bring me casinos and the Formula 1 Grand Prix
I am a small republic
Aware of where I stand
I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands
I am
Send me planes of foreign aid
Birth control and Gatorade
I am
Send me teachers, engineers
Buying plastic souvenirs
I am
Send me hustlers by the score
Motel chains that hide the shore
I am
Send me tourists by the ton
Drowned by wine and burned by sun
I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands
I have my own bent terrorists
I have religious fanatics
And a nuclear program too
I am a small republic
Aware of where I stand
I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands
I am a small republic
Aware of where I stand
I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands
I am
I am
I am
I am
I am
I am
