Eastworld - Big Country

I have come from the Eastworld

From the concrete and the dust

At the end of the empire

For the lifting of the curse

I have come for your hardware

To the strip shows and the bars

I have come to see Madonna

Swim in rivers filled with cars

All bound for miracle land today

All bound for miracle land today

Western men untie my hands

Lead me through the shifting sands

All bound for miracle land today

Take me to your banker

Let me default on my loan

Give me twenty years of payments

And a debt to call my own

Let me camp out on the welfare

Dig a hole to get my high

Show me rows and rows

Of oriental toys that I must buy

All bound for miracle land today

All bound for miracle land today

Western men untie my hands

Lead me through the shifting sands

All bound for miracle land today

The airwaves talk to me deep into the night

I trust the voice of Radio Free Europe

I have come from the Eastworld

With a missile for a god

Where my mouth was always empty

My feet were barely shod

All bound for miracle land today

All bound for miracle land today

Western men untie my hands

Lead me through the shifting sands

All bound for miracle land today

All bound for miracle land today

All bound for miracle land today

Western men untie my hands

Lead me through the shifting sands

All bound for miracle land today
