R.E.M.
Little America (Live / 1984 Aragon Ballroom)
[Intro]
There are somehow those who will not compromise
And some patriotic among us
There are some who will raise their flags
And with and without end

[Verse 1]
I can't see myself at thirty
I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelry, again
Lighted in the amber yard
A green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in a tree beer tar-black br'er sap

[Chorus]
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul, a horsе, oh man, I think we're lost
(Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Who will tеnd the farm museums?
Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floor, hedging near the givens?
Rally 'round your leaders
It's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led?
[Chorus]
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul, a horse, oh man, I think we're lost

[Bridge]
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
A matter, of course, Jefferson, drive it (Turn around)

[Verse 3]
Lighted in the amber yard
A green shellback, green shellback
Skylight, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in a tree tar-black br'er sap
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart
Grab your fiddle

[Chorus]
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul, a horse, oh man, I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The pastor, a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost
Lost

[Outro]
Thanks, I'm gonna breathe
Thank you very much, goodbye
