Paul Simon - Cars Are Cars Lyrics






Cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars
All over the world
Similarly made
Similarly sold
In a motorcade
Abandoned when they're old Cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars
All over the world
Engine in the front
Jack in the back
Wheels take the brunt
Pinion and a rack
Cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars
All over the world
But people are strangers
They change with the curve
From time zone to time zone
As we can observe
They shut down their borders - And think they're immune
They stand on their differences
And shoot at the moon
But cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars
All over the world
Drive 'em on the left
Drive 'em on the right
Susceptible to theft
In the middle of the night
Cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars
All over the world
I once had a car
That was more like a home
I lived in it, loved In It
Polished Its chrome
If some of my homes
Had been more
like my car
I probably wouldn't have
Travelled this far
Cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars
All over the world
Cars are cars' All over the world

Paul Simon Cars Are Cars Comments
  1. A.... S....

    While to be honest this is a godawful song, I still enjoy listening to it because it shows how Paul isn't afraid to do whatever the hell he wants to do. Thats what I love the most about music, how the artists just get to do whatever and see if it works. In this case, it didnt work.

  2. R.... K....

    Paul Simon is a legend, the backbone of quality music throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. This song is not one of his most popular, but hey it's catchy and original!!!

  3. S.... S....

    Wait.. all over the world ?

  4. t.... ....

    This song is so profound it makes my balls ache. I never realised that cars were cars but now I see the truth. I listen to this song while fucking a microwaved watermelon.

  5. M.... B....

    How can y'all hate this absolute bop?

  6. M.... Z....

    cars are cars... BUT people are strangers, they change with the curve, from time zone to time zone, as we can observe. [...] I once had a car..

  7. j.... ....

    Even a brilliant guy like Paul Simon can produce garbage from time to time

  8. R.... K....

    Haven't heared this for years, I love it.Paul is the consumate articulate POet.Always has been and always will be.One of the 20th century centuries best artists, hey and well into the 21st century too. If u love hime too, please send an e-mail to www.channel4.com/countdown

  9. J.... ....

    Just pure A grade shite! Paul, this song is an abomination! What where you thinking?

  10. B.... B....

    This is the worst song ever written, by anyone.

    B.... B....

    No way, have you heard the rubbish cluttering the charts at present? You'll have lots to choose from there.

    B.... B....

    Your comment is the worst comment ever written, by anyone.

    B.... B....

    + trump grabbed ... Now your post is. Congratulations!
    Just your user name give away the fact that you're a mental midget.

  11. E.... B....

    Musically solid, lyrically godawful

    E.... B....

    this song sucks all around, paul probably wrote it on the toilet.

    E.... B....

    Now there's a man who enjoys his car separatism. Look at mine!
    I like to imagine other people can hear me play this at the prompt of noisy engines

  12. M.... H....

    I love this song

  13. l.... ....

    Paul thinks too much. I like the song. I think too much, too.

  14. m.... ....

    mixed feelings about this song.. the verses are cheesy and happy go lucky.. i can see why people deem this the worst paul simon song.. but during the second part (chorus) with the "but people are strangers.."  i just love the melody and find it infectious ..

    m.... ....

    +marokokisetter that's the idea - materialism versus spiritual values. The monotony of materilalism versus the softness and melody of people and spirit
    But people are strangers
    They change with the curve
    From time zone to time zone
    As we can observe
    They shut down their borders - And think they're immune
    They stand on their differences
    And shoot at the moon

    m.... ....

    Just say it, the song is shit

  15. R.... K....

    “Cars are cars/ All over the world/ Cars are cars/ All over the world/ Cars are cars.”

    Thanks @Paul Simon 

  16. l.... ....

    I love this song!

  17. J.... K....

    possibly the worst paul simon song 

    J.... K....

    +Find That Music! Well said!

    J.... K....

    +Margaret Human I love this song! It really speaks my love of cars and all the moving I've done in my life.

    J.... K....

    Every song can't be a hit or masterpiece, even for someone like Paul Simon.

    J.... K....

    I hadn't been aware that that's who did this piece of garbage. If he's not duly embarassed by it, he should be. Good grief.

    J.... K....

    D. Joshua Knapp indeed. It is truly dreadful in every way. The tune is hackneyed and predictable, the lyrics beyond risible and the performance dead. What was he thinking of including this crap on an otherwise excellent LP?
