Heart Of The Country - Ultravox

I was young and not deceived then

I believed in the heart of the country

How the words sound, how the truth lies

I was moved by the heart of the country

Oh, oh, then I saw through

The charade, the facade

Now I’ve had it all

When they ask you who deprives you

You reply your heart of the country

I am older, I am wiser

I despise the heart of the country

Oh, oh, then I felt it

All the tears and the grief

I believed it all

Taking bad times, by the handful

Do what you can for the heart of the country

They dish the dirt out too hard to swallow

Just to follow the heart of the country

Oh, oh, heed the words

And learn the lines

I’ll be fine when I have it all
