Verse 1
City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself, "Oops, I've got a lot of money" (lot of money)
Caught in a rat race terminally
I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit (to the limit)
Caught up in the century's anxiety
Yes, it preys on him (preys on him)
He's getting thin (getting thin) {Try a simple life}
Chorus 1
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
Verse 2
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory (Jackanory)
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's the century's remedy
For the faint at heart
A new start (new start) {Try a simple life}
Chorus 2
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
But you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
In the country (Doo doo doo)
In the country (Doo doo doo)
In the country-y-y!
Solo
| A E | Bm | D D/C# | C# | x2
Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don't know why
Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don't know why
Chorus 1 & 2
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
Yes you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
Ooh la la la
(repeat progression and fade out)
