Big Country - The Selling Of America Lyrics






Gonna take a message to mother
Tell her that I’ll be home soon
Let her know I’m still undercover
Hiding out behind the moon

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground

Better get a message to Martha
Tell her that our workers are doomed
Better call on General McArthur
Tell him the invasion is due

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground
Here come the dollar bombers

Better get the word to the boss man
A wire from the industry spy
Tell him that they’re over the border
Trying out the White House for size

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground

    This is such a great album, and this song on point as one of their best, especially of the 90's. Saw them at the last show on the U.S. Leg of the Buffalo Skinner's Tour, at The Boathouse in Norfolk, Virginia...>A hugely successful tour. The guys changed the ticket requirements to bringing cans of food for our local food bank in Tidewater, Virginia, to get into the show! One of the best shows I have ever seen, including...7 encores! (And I have seen a lot of great shows) I will never forget Stuart and the guys putting on an amazing night. Thanks to Band for such a great memory.

    This album kills it! Every track is great but this one I turn up and blow the roof on! Stuart was a genius. Nuff said on that.
