《American Life(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] American Life-Primus

[00:01:19] In a town in southernmost Sicily

[00:01:22] Lived a family too proud to be poor

[00:01:25] In the year that fever took father away

[00:01:27] They hastened for American shores

[00:01:30] Now a mother and her son are standing in line

[00:01:33] It’s a cold day on Ellis Isle

[00:01:35] And they look to the Statue of Liberty

[00:01:43] For the boy we have American Life

[00:02:04] Ong is a Laotian refugee

[00:02:06] He works in the audio trade

[00:02:09] The smoke from flux is filling his lungs

[00:02:11] He’s earning minimum wage

[00:02:14] Spending spare time down on

[00:02:15] San Pablo ave

[00:02:16] Once a week gets a woman for the night

[00:02:19] And he writes home tales of prosperity

[00:02:26] For the boy we have American Life

[00:09:31] Bob is an unemployed veteran

[00:09:33] Born and bred in the South Bronx

[00:09:35] He’s living off the streets down in east L A

[00:09:38] Residing in a cardboard box

[00:09:41] Now he plays a little quit and he has a small dog

[00:09:44] Searching for aluminum cans

[00:09:47] And he hold on tight to his dignity

[00:09:53] For the boy we have American Life

[00:09:59] He was born into American Life

[00:10:04] For the boy we have American Life
