rhymes
First you learn the native customs
Soon a word of spanish or two
You know that you cannot trust them
'cause they know they can't trust you
Expatriated Americans, feelin' so all alone
Telling themselves the same lies
That they told themselves back home
(solo) -play - G Am D G - Dm Am C G C G
Down to the Banana Republics
Things aren't as warm as they seem
None of the natives are buying any
Second-hand American dreams
(repeat chorus)
Down to the Banana Republics
Down to the tropical sun
Go the expatriated Americans
Hopin' to find some fun
(repeat chords and fade)
