Stan Ridgway - Big American Problem lyrics
Chorus:
 I've got a big american problem
 Somethin' that I cannot solve by myself
 I've got a big american problem
 Somethin' that I need some help from the shelf
Way down in somalia
 Where the starving children play
 Where our soldiers are sittin' around
 Wonderin' just what to do with the day
 There are many people in the hills
 And the hills have eyes
 There is someone that waits for me
 Like a spider waits for a fly
Chorus:
 I've got a big american problem
 Somethin' that I cannot solve by myself
 I've got a big american problem
 Somethin' that I better take off the shelfStan Ridgway - Big American Problem - http://motolyrics.com/stan-ridgway/big-american-problem-lyrics.html
In sarajevo, there's lots of people standin'
 Standin' there in the street, waitin' for you
 Someone's comin' down to give them the answers
 « and if they'd know just what they don't want to do »
Chorus:
 I've got a big american problem
 Somethin' that I cannot solve by myself
 I've got a big american problem
 « we'd better take that book from the shelf »
Have you got a big american problem too? 
 Somethin' that you cannot solve by yourself
 Have you got a big american problem too? 
 Somethin' that you cannot solve by yourself? 
I've got a big american problem (x4)
 A problem! problem! problem! a problem! a problem!
