Here In Spain

Janis Ian/Peter Cunningham

Big Brother called me yesterday
on the transatlantic phone
He said you should come home
They say it's much too dangerous
to live outside alone
among the briars and the primrose

and everybody's looking to the rain
Santo Domini
All the children are in flames
here in Spain

The President is constantly
yelling on the phone
He wants you to come home
The Law Enforcement Justice League
will tell you where to go
among the briars and the primrose

and everybody's looking to the rain
Santo Domini
All the children are in estranged
here in Spain

They say the country is
a testament to the free
but Romeo and Juliet
couldn't find a place to sleep
No, no, no no no

The child of my father called me yesterday
on the transatlantic phone
Got to, got to come home, come home

And everybody's looking to the rain
Santo Domini
All the children are in flames
All the children are in vain
All the children are inflamed
here in Spain
