Words to Music: Eastern Man, Western Man

EASTERN MAN, WESTERN MAN



Eastern man walks slowly

Afraid of the flash in the sky,

Western Man walks swiftly

Less reason why.


Eastern man walks slowly

Afraid of the bolt from the blue,

Western man walks swiftly

Blind to the view.


Eastern man walks slowly

Shakes as the rockets boom,

Western man walks swiftly

Swiftly to his doom.
