Yanqui Go Home

Yanqui wake up You know it's time to go The sun is almost up and we want to be alone Yanqui head spin Better get some rest Tomorrow we can talk about the way you insulted the guests Ivan's outside Sulking in the yard Everyone got bad communication when the time gets hard Not a nice guy But he's got troubles of his own Anyway it's best if you both just leave the rest of us alone Yanqui go home You had too much Better go sleep it off Party's over Time to meditate on it Time to tally up the cost Yanqui wake up Don't you see what you're doing Trying to be the Pharaoh of the West bringing nothing but ruin Better start swimming Before you begin to drown All those petty tyrants in your pocket gonna weigh you down You're my friend but I say Yanqui go home You had too much Better go sleep it off Party's over Time to meditate on it Time to tally up the cost --- Yanqui Go Home - Bruce Cockburn
