Out here in America
And I'm so sad that I am
But you're here in America
And I should leave but I can't

And yesterday the cops, they killed a man again
And nobody was surprised
And just today they tried to send somebody into space
But they never left the ground

I'm so caught
I'm so caught up
I'm so caught
I'm so caught up in America

Out here in America
And I'm so mad that I am
But you're here in America
And you should leave when you can

And yesterday we covered all the mirrors
So you wouldn't have to look at your own face
And just today I told you to remind me to pay rent
'Cause I know that I'll forget

I'm so caught
I'm so caught up
I'm so caught
I'm so caught up
I'm so caught
I'm so caught up
I'm so caught
I'm so caught up
