Michael Franks - Charlie Chan In Egypt Lyrics

Artist: Michael Franks

Album: Time Together

Genre: Pop

Please tell me if you can, Doc
What's causing my depression?
The fact we now engage in
Unprovoked aggression?
These kids we're sending out
To quote "defend our nation"
Come home completely shattered
A broken generation?

I feel like a stranger
In a strange land
Like I can't
Reveal my secret
Wherever I go
Wherever I am
I feel like
Charlie Chan in Egypt

Can all this sit-com laughter
Still conceal our sadness
While down in Foggy Bottom
They manufacture madness?
Thanks to the World Wide Web
And its near complete dominion
We’re suffocating in
The quicksand of opinion

I feel like a stranger
In a strange land
Like I can't
Reveal my secret
Wherever I go
Wherever I am
I feel like
Charlie Chan in Egypt

    This is a strange time for us baby boomers. The world we knew and the world we live in sometime do'nt jive with each other. This song some up this feeling.
