Big Country

I am
I am

I am a brand new free democracy
The world sends words of hope and good will to me
Newsmen photograph my barricades
Send their finest con men to comment on the big parade

I am the favorite posting of the finest diplomats
And they educate me in the ways of our brother rats
I am the playground of the wealthy
A diamond in a sapphire sea
And they bring me casinos and the Formula 1 Grand Prix

I am a small republic
Aware of where I stand
I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands

I am
Send me planes of foreign aid
Birth control and Gatorade

I am
Send me teachers, engineers
Buying plastic souvenirs

I am
Send me hustlers by the score
Motel chains that hide the shore

I am
Send me tourists by the ton
Drowned by wine and burned by sun

I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands

I have my own bent terrorists
Plotting up a basement coup

I have religious fanatics
And a nuclear program too

I am a small republic
Aware of where I stand
I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands

I am a small republic
Aware of where I stand
I am a small republic
And my fate is in your hands

I am
I am
I am
I am
I am
I am
