Lyrics:
State of the Land
Anderssen/Johannesen
Oh conversations in the air
And the words come flying from everywhere
And you talk about money and the state of the land
Why don’t you ask me ask me how I am
Why don’t you ask me ask me how I am
Now you’re busy as a bee in your golden hive
Trying to stay on top just to stay alive
And you ask about the race and how fast I ran
Why don’t you ask me ask me how I am
Why don’t you ask me ask me how I am
So maybe we can lay it all down at the kitchen table
Then maybe we can tuck it away as we watch the sun go down
Now it’s hard to face that human eye
That cannot hide the storm inside
But what you can’t say the eyes sure can
They’re saying ask me ask me how I am
They’re saying ask me oh ask me how I am
So maybe we can lay it all down at the kitchen table
Then maybe we can tuck it away as we watch the sun go down
Oh let it go and let it be
There’s no need to go digging where the hole is deep
But in between coffee and your master plan
Why don’t you ask me ask me how I am
Why don’t you ask me ask me how I am
