Big American Problem — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

Chorus:

Ive got a big american problem

Somethin that I cannot solve by myself

Ive got a big american problem

Somethin that I need some help from the shelf





Way down in somalia

Where the starving children play

Where our soldiers are sittin around

Wonderin just what to do with the day

There are many people in the hills

And the hills have eyes

There is someone that waits for me

Like a spider waits for a fly





Chorus:

Ive got a big american problem

Somethin that I cannot solve by myself

Ive got a big american problem

Somethin that I better take off the shelf







In sarajevo, theres lots of people standin

Standin there in the street, waitin for you

Someones comin down to give them the answers

« and if theyd know just what they dont want to do »





Chorus:

Ive got a big american problem

Somethin that I cannot solve by myself

Ive got a big american problem

« wed better take that book from the shelf »







Have you got a big american problem too?

Somethin that you cannot solve by yourself

Have you got a big american problem too?

Somethin that you cannot solve by yourself?





Ive got a big american problem (x4)

A problem! problem! problem! a problem! a problem!
