Carmerica Lyrics & Chords By Nathan Rogers

Here in Carmerica, nothing's free
Not the food, not the fuel, not the people, not me
Here in Carmerica, deep in the gears
Of a four-stroke engine lubricated with tears
You can hear it a-comin', long before it appears
Here in Carmerica, deep in the gears
Here in Carmerica, is makin' me blue
Here in Carmerica, miles from you
And it could not be sadder, more grim, or more true
Here in Carmerica, miles from you

Here in Carmerica, moments away
Pressure is building just a little each day
Ready to rumble, let happen what may
Here in Carmerica, moments away

Here in Carmerica, land of the cruel
Addicted to sex, and addicted to fuel
But some of your people are nobody's fool
Here in Carmerica, land of the cruel
Here in Carmerica, is makin' me blue
Here in Carmerica, miles from you
And it could not be sadder, more grim, or more true
Here in Carmerica, miles from you

Here in Carmerica, divided they stand
They wait undecided, their heads in the sand
Their confidence wavers, then leaves their command
Here in Carmerica, divided they stand

Here in Carmerica, land that I love
The grind of your dollar, the fist in the glove
The smooth-runnin' engine when push came to shove
Here in Carmerica, land that I love
Here in Carmerica, is makin' me blue
Here in Carmerica, miles from you
And it could not be sadder, more grim, or more true
Here in Carmerica, miles from you
And I could not feel sadder, more alone, or more blue
Here in Carmerica, miles from you
