Western Man Songtext
von Mose Allison

Western man had a plan
And with his gun in his hand
Free from doubt
Went right out
On the world

Western man with his cross
Meant to prove who was boss
In his pride
He decided
For the world


Well at first he sailed right through
Seems there′s nothing that he couldn't do
Went right out and laid ′em low
Seems there's nothing that he didn't know
Came up with the crockets, sprockets, rockets and jets
Two hundred million color TV sets
But when they added up the cost
Seems he′d played his ace and lost

Western man hung his head
Could be better off dead
Storming wept
Took a new concept
Turned around and got in step
With the world
