Janis Ian — Here In Spain lyrics

Lyrics

Big Brother called me yesterday
on the transatlantic phone
He said you should come home
They say it’s much too dangerous
to live outside alone
among the briars and the primrose
and everybody’s looking to the rain
Santo Domini
All the children are in flames
here in Spain
The President is constantly
yelling on the phone
He wants you to come home
The Law Enforcement Justice League
will tell you where to go among the briars and the primrose
and everybody’s looking to the rain
Santo Domini
All the children are in estranged
here in Spain
They say the country is a testament to the free
but Romeo and Juliet
couldn’t find a place to sleep
No, no, no no no
The child of my father called me yesterday
on the transatlantic phone
Got to, got to come home, come home
And everybody’s looking to the rain
Santo Domini
All the children are in flames
All the children are in vain
All the children are inflamed
here in Spain
