Song language: English
American Life |
| In a town in southernmost sicily |
| Lived a family too proud to be poor |
| In the year that fever took father away |
| They hastened for american shores |
| Now a mother and her son are standing in line |
| It’s a cold day on ellis isle |
| And they look to the statue of liberty |
| For the boy we have american life |
| Ong is a laotian refugee |
| He works in the audio trade |
| The smoke from flux is filling his lungs |
| He’s earning minimum wage |
| Spending spare time down on San pablo ave |
| Once a week gets a woman for the night |
| And he writes home tales of prosperity |
| For the boy we have american life |
| Bob is an unemployed veteran |
| Born and bred in the south bronx |
| He’s living off the streets down in east l.a. |
| Residing in a cardboard box |
| Now he plays a little quit and he has a small dog |
| Searching for aluminum cans |
| And he hold on tight to his dignity |
| He was born into american life |
