《American Life》歌词

[00:00:00] American Life - Primus

[00:00:10] In a town in southernmost Sicily

[00:00:13] Lived a family too proud to be poor

[00:00:16] In the year that fever took father away

[00:00:19] They hastened for American shores

[00:00:21] Now a mother and her son are standing in line

[00:00:24] It's a cold day on Ellis Isle

[00:00:27] And they look to the Statue of Liberty Liberty Liberty

[00:00:34] For the boy we have American life

[00:00:55] Ong is a Laotian refugee

[00:00:58] He works in the audio trade

[00:01:00] The smoke from flux is filling his lungs

[00:01:03] He's earning minimum wage

[00:01:06] Spending spare time down on

[00:01:07] San Pablo ave

[00:01:08] Once a week gets a woman for the night

[00:01:11] And he writes home tales of prosperity prosperity prosperity

[00:01:17] For the boy we have American life

[00:01:23] For the boy we have American life

[00:02:24] Bob is an unemployed veteran

[00:02:26] Born and bred in the South Bronx

[00:02:29] He's living off the streets down in east L A

[00:02:31] Residing in a cardboard box

[00:02:34] Now he plays a little quit and he has a small dog

[00:02:37] Searching for aluminum cans

[00:02:39] And he hold on tight to his dignity dignity dignity

[00:02:46] For the boy we have American life

[00:02:51] He was born into American life

[00:02:56] For the boy we have American life
