Stan Ridgway - Big American Problem lyrics

Chorus: I've got a big american problem Somethin' that i cannot solve by myself I've got a big american problem Somethin' that i need some help from the shelf Way down in somalia Where the starving children play Where our soldiers are sittin' around Wonderin' just what to do with the day There are many people in the hills And the hills have eyes There is someone that waits for me Like a spider waits for a fly Chorus: I've got a big american problem Somethin' that i cannot solve by myself I've got a big american problem Somethin' that i better take off the shelf In sarajevo, there's lots of people standin' Standin' there in the street, waitin' for you Someone's comin' down to give them the answers « and if they'd know just what they don't want to do » Chorus: I've got a big american problem Somethin' that i cannot solve by myself I've got a big american problem « we'd better take that book from the shelf » Have you got a big american problem too? Somethin' that you cannot solve by yourself Have you got a big american problem too? Somethin' that you cannot solve by yourself? I've got a big american problem (x4) A problem! problem! problem! a problem! a problem!
