Jackie Brown |
Is this your life, Jackie Brown? |
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town |
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown? |
This pretty little girl |
In the worn out clothes |
That have been hand-me down |
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown? |
With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you don’t see her frown |
Is this your family, Jackie Brown? |
Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream |
And giving the world more than it gave you |
What ugly truths freedom brings |
And it hasn’t been very kind to you |
Is this your life, Jackie Brown? |
Is this your meal, Jackie Brown? |
Barely enough, I’ve seen people throw away more than this out |
Is this your home, Jackie Brown? |
This three room shack |
With no running water |
And the bathroom out back |
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown? |
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took himself out |
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown? |
Going nowhere and nowhere fast |
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live |
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown? |
Just another lazy man who couldn’t take what was his |
One helluva life Jackie Brown |
Forevermore, Jackie Brown |
Amen and amen — Jackie Brown? |
