The Lyrics of Terry Hubbard

State Of Nowhere

written 1991   © 1991 - 2006 by T. Hubbard

Oh, I come from the state of Nowhere

in the middle of the land of None,

where scattered dreams of yesterday

lie bleachin’ in the sun.

Sometimes I think I hear them singin’,

and it makes me want to sing along,

but the Whore of Desolation’s tellin’ me

the song is all wrong.

You taught me about freedom,

preached to me of right,

and then showed me on the TV,

all the horror and the strife.

And I didn’t want to believe it,

in my bright and sunny sky,

but the corporate abomination

made me look, made me cry.

Made me look, made me cry.

You heard all about me, I’m the one you will deny.

I’ll teach your children everything;

reveal the truth, reveal the lie,

but I just want to play in the garden

with my friends, and have a real good time,

but this monster of man’s creation

demands a reason. and a rhyme,

demands a reason. and a rhyme

You heard all about me, I’m the one you will deny.

I’ll teach your children everything;

reveal the truth, reveal the lie,

but I just want to play in the garden

with my friends, and have a real good time,

but this monster of man’s creation

demands a reason. and a rhyme,

demands a reason. and a rhyme.

Oh, I come from the state of Nowhere

in the middle of the land of None,

where shattered dreams of yesterday

lie bleachin’ in the sun.

Sometimes I think I hear them singin’,

and it makes me want to sing along,

but the Whore of Desolation’s tellin’ me

the song is all wrong.

Tellin’ me the song is all wrong.

I can’t believe their tellin’ me

the song is all wrong.

play again
