I'm Not From Around Here Lyrics

Dan Bern

(Verse)
Does green mean stop or go
Is plastic good to eat
Should I put a hat on my head
Or on my feet
Tell me why a birthday
Comes only a once a year
I'm not from around here

(Verse)
What do chickens dream about
When they lay their eggs at night
Why do tears and laughter
Sound so much alike
Why are there so many
Different kinds of beef
I'm not from around here

(Bridge)
Pharisees
On Christmas Eve
Of treason and what's right
Show me tell me
Ring my belly
Haven't got much time

(Verse)
How do windshield whipers
Know when it starts to rain
How do the comuters know
When it's time to leave the train
What is hate , what's boredom
What's jealousy, what's fear
I'm not from around here
Tell me
I'm not from around here
