Electronic - Idiot Country

My name is not important, it's a signal, a sign
It means I'm doing what I do because I do it all the time
I get a lot of fun emotion, I get none if I use ya
I would crawl across the ocean so I could not abuse ya

My life's deteriorating at a quarter to eight
Because I wrote myself a letter and I mailed it too late
I got a knock on the door, I got a nail on the floor
I got a nail in my head, but it don't hurt me no more

It's an open act of defiance, and it's aimed DIRECTLY AT YOU
We could form some kind of alliance, we could do what we wanted to do
And the young would live forever
And the sun would shine through the blue
If we got our hands on this nation, we could do what we wanted to do

With all the time I'm sweatin' I've got you on my mind
You're gonna lead me into trouble, you will leave me behind
Well I am not coming to ya, I'll only confuse ya
There's a label on you, I'm gonna rip it in two

@molonlave2010 yeah, as white English men making techno or blues music... here it's not hip-hop, but he's rapping.

This album reminds me of a trip to France back in '91. Loved the album then and love it now.

@mef1975 ...lol...poor me...a lot of alcohol involved on writing that comment,so no, its not a first on writing a sentence...

[mef1975]

@stig12342 Is this your first attempt at writing a sentence? Just messing with you, but yeah, I imagine this was Marr's first collaboration with a musician that mainly uses synths.

[molonlave2010]

@Gazeld hahahaha white English man rapping !

[Gazeld]

@molonlave2010 for me it's rap, because it's spoken, with rhythm, as for example pet shop boys in "west end girls" and other songs like "left to my own devices"
