Lyrics & Translation
English
Hope you enjoyed your flight in one of our new straw aeroplanes,
you'll find things here are just like what you're used to.
There's lots of waste and razor wire and no one gives a damn about the land,
we just stand around and stare like you folks do.
For we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts,
It's just that wild old wind that tears us all apart.
We're the scarecrow people,
Have we got lots in common with you.
And if you don't start living well,
You're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.
Hope you enjoyed your meal it's only gas and chemicals,
We thought that you'd prefer something not nature made.
Now while you're here, can you advise us on a war we'd like to start,
Against some scarecrows over there, a different shade?
For we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts,
It's just that wild old wind that tears us all apart.
We're the scarecrow people,
Have we got lots in common with you.
And if you don't start living well,
You're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.
We don't have no tears here,
No one hopes or cares or fears here,
for the old, the sick, the poor and them what taint you.
We thought we'd base our civilization upon yours,
'Cause you're the smartest animals on earth, now ain't you?
We don't have no love here,
There's no need to rise above here,
No one wants to write a book or try to paint thee.
We thought we'd base our civilization upon yours,
'Cause we're all dead from our necks up, now ain't we?
And we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts,
It's just that wild old wind that tears us all apart.
We're the scarecrow people,
Have we got lots in common with you.
And if you don't start living well,
You're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too.
And I ain't got no brains and I ain't got no heart,
It's just them other humans tear my soul apart.
I'm a scarecrow person,
Have I got quite some message for you.
For if we don't start learning well,
We're all gonna wind up scarecrow people too!

Scarecrow People (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Espero que hayas disfrutado tu vuelo en uno de nuestros nuevos aeroplanos de paja,
encontrarás que las cosas aquí son justo como a lo que estás acostumbrado.
Hay mucha basura y alambre de púas y a nadie le importa un carajo la tierra,
solo nos quedamos parados y miramos fijamente como ustedes.
Porque no tenemos cerebro y no tenemos corazón,
Es solo ese viejo viento salvaje el que nos desgarra a todos.
Somos la gente espantapájaros,
¿Tenemos mucho en común contigo?
Y si no empiezas a vivir bien,
Todos terminarán siendo gente espantapájaros también.
Espero que hayas disfrutado tu comida, es solo gas y químicos,
Pensamos que preferirías algo no hecho por la naturaleza.
Ahora que estás aquí, ¿puedes aconsejarnos sobre una guerra que nos gustaría empezar,
Contra algunos espantapájaros de allá, de un tono diferente?
Porque no tenemos cerebro y no tenemos corazón,
Es solo ese viejo viento salvaje el que nos desgarra a todos.
Somos la gente espantapájaros,
¿Tenemos mucho en común contigo?
Y si no empiezas a vivir bien,
Todos terminarán siendo gente espantapájaros también.
No tenemos lágrimas aquí,
Nadie espera, se preocupa o teme aquí,
por los viejos, los enfermos, los pobres y los que te contaminan.
Pensamos en basar nuestra civilización en la tuya,
Porque son los animales más inteligentes de la tierra, ¿verdad?
No tenemos amor aquí,
No hay necesidad de superarse aquí,
Nadie quiere escribir un libro o intentar pintarte.
Pensamos en basar nuestra civilización en la tuya,
Porque estamos todos muertos del cuello para arriba, ¿verdad?
Y no tenemos cerebro y no tenemos corazón,
Es solo ese viejo viento salvaje el que nos desgarra a todos.
Somos la gente espantapájaros,
¿Tenemos mucho en común contigo?
Y si no empiezas a vivir bien,
Todos terminarán siendo gente espantapájaros también.
Y no tengo cerebro y no tengo corazón,
Son solo esos otros humanos los que desgarran mi alma.
Soy una persona espantapájaros,
¿Tengo un buen mensaje para ti?
Porque si no empezamos a aprender bien,
¡Todos terminaremos siendo gente espantapájaros también!
