We're Not In Kansas Lyrics - No Place Like Home - Big Country

What did you learn in school today 

Did you learn to run when the teachers pray 

Did they teach you enough to know the state you're in 

Not enough to get out, not enough to win 

What did you learn at home today 

Did you learn to hate in the proper way 

Did your liberated parents patronize your friends 

'Cause they had enough money, 'cause they had the right skin 

I wander 'round thinking, well, what kind of place is this 

Well maybe it's in the parks, maybe it's in the stores 

But I know if we're being honest, it's in the people 

But they're all caught up in the traffic 

Listening to the weather 

Well dog, I know we're not in Kansas, the sky's all colored wrong 

I know we're not in Kansas, the days are all too long 

I sure don't understand this, that's what you're howling for 

I know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymore 

What did you learn in your job today 

Did you learn to sleep while the boss is away 

Did you shut your mouth when he called you down 

'Cause there's not much work in that kind of town 

I wander around thinking, well what kind of place is this 

Where they say hey well what did you do in the war 

And I ask well hey man well what did you do with the peace 

Well we built these real safe weapons, so we could sleep with ease 

Well dog, I know we're not in Kansas, the sky's all colored wrong 

I know we're not in Kansas, the days are all too long 

I sure don't understand this, that's what you're howling for 

I know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymore 

Well what kind of place is this 

On the wrong side of the rainbow where the twisters never come 

And they tore up all the yellow bricks and they sold them to Japan 

And still the advertisers tell you, hey, there's no place like home 

Well dog, I know we're not in Kansas, the sky's all colored wrong 

I know we're not in Kansas, the days are all too long 

I sure don't understand this, that's what you're howling for 

I know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymore 

I know we're not in Kansas, the sky's all colored wrong 

I know we're not in Kansas, the days are all too long 

I sure don't understand this, that's what you're howling for 

I know we're not in Kansas, Kansas anymore
