One more concrete box went up overnight, another treeline cut down Seems like they can't build 'em fast enough and they just keep on turning them out Hanging here in this empty field I'm just covered in straw wearing thin Looking out over shrinking hills that used to have no wind With no seed in the ground and dirt on the plough Nobody to mend my fence Those steel yellow machines are creeping up on me The old barn's caving in They left me out here alone with a for-sale sign nailed to a post And there's no more love for the scarecrow The little one's used to run and hide in my maze of tall corn rows The family sang on the front porch swing Now all I hear is car horns blow Old man John used to smile at me, tip his hat for a job well done I kept away all the birds of prey, but I couldn't stop this one There's no seed in the ground and dirt on the plough Nobody to mend my fence Those steel yellow machines are creeping up on me The old barn's caving in They left me out here alone with a for-sale sign nailed to a post And there's no more love for the scarecrow I wonder what they'll tell their kids when the last of my kind fall SongtexteThey're all living on a quarter-acre lot beside a two-storey shopping mall There's no seed in the ground, dirt on the plough Nobody to mend my fence Those steel yellow machines are creeping up on me The old barn's caving in They left me out here alone with a for-sale sign nailed to a post And there's no more love for the scarecrow, yeah For the scarecrow, yeah There's no seed in the ground Dirt on the plough Yeah, for the scarecrow For the scarecrow No more love For the scarecrow Yeah Aus Songtexte Mania
