《Livin’ In America》歌词

[00:00:00] Livin' In America - Black 47

[00:00:05] Oh it's 6 o'clock and it's time to rock

[00:00:09] And me head is beating like a drum

[00:00:13] In the cold grey light

[00:00:16] Ah i feel like shite

[00:00:18] And i can't remember last night's fun

[00:00:22] Then the foreman says

[00:00:25] Come on now boys

[00:00:27] Stick your fingers down

[00:00:29] Your throat and get to work

[00:00:32] Hello i wish to Christ

[00:00:34] I'd stayed home last night

[00:00:36] Instead of drinking in America

[00:00:41] Oh i knock down walls with big iron balls

[00:00:45] And i mix cement by the ton

[00:00:50] With me tongue hanging out

[00:00:52] For a bottle of stout

[00:00:55] Sweating bullets in the Brooklyn sun

[00:00:59] Then i think of her up on Kingsbridge Road

[00:01:04] Did she mean what she said last night

[00:01:08] Oh Mammy dear

[00:01:11] We're all mad over here

[00:01:13] Living in America

[00:01:27] On me way downtown

[00:01:29] I think of that clown

[00:01:31] And the things that he said last night

[00:01:35] Did he mean'em at all

[00:01:38] Or was it just drink talk

[00:01:40] Oh i must look a terrible sight

[00:01:45] Put me makeup on as

[00:01:47] I watch the sun rise high over Fordham Road

[00:01:54] Oh Mammy dear

[00:01:56] We're all mad over here

[00:01:59] Living in America

[00:02:03] Ah the kids aren't dressed

[00:02:05] And the house is a mess

[00:02:08] And the yuppies are networking again

[00:02:12] Kiss their darlin's goodbye

[00:02:14] Oh we'll be late tonight

[00:02:17] But we should be home by eleven

[00:02:21] Oh me little dears dry up your tears

[00:02:26] Your parents are too busy making money

[00:02:31] Oh Mammy dear

[00:02:33] We're all mad over here

[00:02:35] Living in America

[00:02:40] Working with the black man

[00:02:42] Dominican and Greek

[00:02:45] In the snows of January

[00:02:46] Or the drenching August heat

[00:02:49] No sick days or benefits

[00:02:51] And for Christ sakes don't get hurt

[00:02:53] The quacks over here won't patch you up

[00:02:56] Unless they see the bucks upfront

[00:02:58] Looking after babies from crack of dawn'til dusk

[00:03:02] Changing dirty nappies and cleaning up the house

[00:03:07] Is this what i've been educated for

[00:03:10] To wipe the arse of every baby in America

[00:03:53] Now the day is done take the subway home

[00:03:57] Squashed up like some sardine in a can

[00:04:02] In the Blarney Stone drink a gallon of foam

[00:04:06] Till i'm feeling half meself again

[00:04:11] If she comes tonight

[00:04:13] I'll ask her outright

[00:04:15] Ah what the hell

[00:04:16] Nothing ventured nothing gained

[00:04:20] And if she takes a chance

[00:04:22] She might find romance

[00:04:25] Now she's living in America

[00:04:29] See him standing there with the ring in his ear

[00:04:34] And the grin on the side of his face

[00:04:38] With the fag in his mouth

[00:04:40] Oh i should watch out

[00:04:43] For they say that he's a real hard case

[00:04:47] Should i take me chance or say no thanks

[00:04:51] Ah what the hell

[00:04:53] Nothing ventured nothing gained

[00:04:56] Oh Mammy dear

[00:04:59] We're all mad over here

[00:05:01] Living in America

[00:05:05] Oh Mammy dear

[00:05:08] We're all mad over here

[00:05:10] Living in America

[00:05:14] Oh Mammy dear

[00:05:17] We're all mad over here

[00:05:20] Living in America

[00:05:23] Oh Mammy dear

[00:05:26] We're all mad over here

[00:05:28] Living in America
