(C major) America made me
Of brick and coal and rubber
America made me
A camp and cold little (D major)
(E major) (F major) kickabout
And look at me now
(C major)
Verse 2
Aluminum paved me
I was primped and poised
and shit out
Antediluvian lady
You won't get far (A minor) (C major) in a (D major) knockabout (F major)
With your keeling aground

(F major)
America made me (A minor)
America saved me from myself (E major)

Verse 4
They told me to line up
They said, "Keep your

All the ways you've been
wronged"

(F major)
America made me
(A minor) So America, save me from myself (E major)
You long to, I can tell (F major)
Abuse and abrade me (A minor)
I'm coming to you on my

Just feed me something
soft (F major) and sweet
Maybe something that won't
keep me from my sleep (C major)

Oh no, (C major) give me something to sleep (D major)

A little something to (F major) sleep
Maybe something that won't keep me from my
sleep (C major)
