New American Morning


Some mornings I just want to stay in bed,
just can't seem to lift my weary head,
in my bed fortress so warm and soft
sheltered from a world that's so often not.
But after a while I get up on my feet,
brew up some coffee and have a seat.
And after a while I start to wear off the night
and start to absorb a little morning light.

Capo II
Bm C / Dm Am / Em F / G FG G FG :||

Another morning in America,
just wanting to stay in bed.
Another morning in America,
awake with a weary head.

C G / F G :||

I take comfort every now and then
in the company of a friend,
someone to help me shoulder the load
and keep me sputtering on down the road.
It's so good to feel that I'm not alone,
that I don't have to carry this all on my own.
The warm smile of a friend
can help let back in some light again.

Another morning in America,
awake with a weary head.
Another morning in America,
but at least I've got my friends.

Turn on the news, and what does it say?
What terrible things happened yesterday?
Ah, just turn it off, but it won't go away.
Why must the world be so cruel and insane?
I know there's good things out there happening, too,
but why don't I see them, why don't they get through?
Maybe I'll just take a walk around the block;
it's much friendlier there than inside this box.

Another morning in America,
but at least I've got my friends.
Another morning in America,
I'm going outside. Fuck what trends.
