And so the story begins
City dweller successful fella
Thought to himself oops I've got a lot of money
Lot of money
Caught in a rat race terminally
I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
To the limit
Caught in the century's anxiety
Yes it preys on him
Preys on him
He's getting thin
Getting thin
Tricycle life
He lives in a house a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh it's like an animal farm lots of rural charm in the country
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going jackanorry
Jackanorry
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading balzac and knocking back prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Close your eyes child
Oh it's the century's remedy
For the faint at heart
Faint at heart
A new start
New start
Tricycle life
Blow blow me out I am so sad I don't know why
He lives in a house a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink smoke laugh takes herbal baths in the country
But you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
In the country
Doo doo doo
In the country
Doo doo doo
In the country y y
Blow blow me out I am so sad I don't know why
Oh he lives in a house a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh it's like an animal farm lots of rural charm in the country
Oh he lives in a house a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink smoke laugh takes herbal baths in the country
Yes you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
Ooh la la la
I wanna be I wanna be in the country
