In A Big Country by Big Country

lyrics
I've never seen you look like this without a reason,
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.
I never took the smile away from anybody's face,
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.

CHORUS:
And in a big country, dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside..
Stay alive..

(I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered)


I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime..

CHORUS [x2]

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded.
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming.
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted.
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered.

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime..

CHORUS [x3]

Nothing about this sucks, this one of the gems of the 80,s and there were many unlike the crap of today.. Most so called musicians and are artists can't play any insturments or even read simple music they are just "created personailties" that are manifested via marketing machines. In other words they become popular BEFORE they produce any hit singles. Created personality are run by major league BS artists who want to sell you junk talent in exchange for your hard earned money.

Dudes. Chill.

There's plenty of good music out there today. It's just not normally played in mainstream media and not marketed like a fad or product. It's more niched now, and that's a good thing.

Nothing more than propaganda and lies.
