Corporate Country (My Chewing Gum Has 4 Wrappers)
Gary Carter - modified 14/4/14
This song is about the executive City life and the contrast of Farm life
Each alternate verse is City v. Country
I wrote this song after being retrenched after 16 years in Banking and Finance
and then spending many weeks on my mates Beef ranch on the Queensland border.
The song was written on an iPhone of the trip back to Sydney from Pumpenbil, Northern NSW
Am Cmaj7 Looking for a piece of earth G Em On the outskirts of the city Am Cmaj7 Traffic jams, smog ‘n KPI’s G Em Well they bore me f^%&ken silly Am Cmaj7 Just to live in a wooden Yurt G Em Looking for community Am Cmaj7 Do you have a best friend at work ? G Em Vote 5 to keep your salary D F Connecting with the salt of the earth G Am Get back to the country Am Cmaj7 Monthly reports, I made ‘em up G Em Performance reviews mean nothin’ Am Cmaj7 The butcher bird, the cockatoo G Em The eagle flys magestic Am Cmaj7 Bar charts, useless farts G Em Make work of their duties D F Straining fences, diesel expenses G Am Parramatta Grass, scratching you’re arse D F Connecting with the salt of the earth G Am Get back to the country Am Cmaj7 Wake at five, do the corporate jive G Em 1,000’s of signs ‘n parking cars Am Cmaj7 Ploughing earth, watching cattle girth G Em The price of a pound, you shout a round Am Cmaj7 Teamwork, yeah ! What about me ? G Em You threaten my opportunity ! D F Fireweed, stock to feed, G Am Floods ‘n drought are part of the creed D F Connecting with the salt of the earth G Am Get back to the country Am Cmaj7 14 hour days, your health’s at play G Em You’re being watched in a spreadsheet Am Cmaj7 The scratches are deep, you rest in sleep G Em Lantana doesn’t listen D F You’re just a stat, perhaps a door mat G Am People are expenses Am Cmaj7 Rev that saw, repair that gate G Em The rain is always too darn late D F Connecting with the salt of the earth G Am Get back to the country Am Cmaj7 It’s the corporate way, a brain a day G Em My chewing gum has 4 wrappers! Am Cmaj7 Well I’m over it now, it's just so foul G Em Going to where the four winds howl Am Cmaj7 Break your back, heart attack G Em Lungs on fire, global warming is dire Am Cmaj7 Break your back, nuclear attack G Em Political crap, Income Tax D F Rather have one in the country G Am Rather do it the country D F Breathe in the country G Am Live & dieeeeeeeeeeeeeee i i i D F in the lucky country
