The Country is Young Lyrics by Jon Langford

All the Fame of Lofty Deeds

2004

The country is young
Just crawled to its feet
Takes a step and collapses
All in a heap
Resist the temptation
To slap the child down
Try to remember its age
Realize the potential
Deflect all the rage
Not too big on the sharing
The gentle or the caring
The country is young (x2)
Lost like an orphan
The day it was found
Drag down tot he river
But it just wouldn't drown
So big and so clumsy
Never knew it was born
Suddenly torn
In bright lights without noise
We gotta wipe its fat ass
And buy it some toys
Not too big on the sharing
The gentle or the caring
The country is young (x2)
The country is young
Its got bad growing pains
Growing out of its clothes
Stretching out on the planes
One day I know
Before it's much older
It's gonna pick up the phone and call the cops on me
Feed on itself to set us all free
Not too big on the caring
The gentle or the sharing
But still so much fun
The country is young
