《American Life》歌词:
[00:48.140]In a town in southernmost Sicily
[00:50.460]Lived a family too proud to be poor
[00:54.390]In the year that fever took father away
[00:56.650]They hastened for American shores
[00:58.660]Now a mother and her son are standing in line
[01:02.320]It’s a cold day on Ellis Isle
[01:04.500]And they look to the Statue of Liberty
[01:08.240]For the boy we have American Life
[01:18.280]Ong is a Laotian refugee
[01:37.990]He works in the audio trade
[01:39.160]The smoke from flux is filling his lungs
[01:41.660]He’s earning minimum wage
[01:43.670]Spending spare time down on
[01:46.710]San Pablo ave
[01:47.710]Once a week gets a woman for the night
[01:49.530]And he writes home tales of prosperity
[01:51.860]For the boy we have American Life
[01:58.740]Bob is an unemployed veteran
[03:05.070]Born and bred in the South Bronx
[03:07.890]He’s living off the streets down in east L.A.
[03:10.450]Residing in a cardboard box
[03:12.860]Now he plays a little quit and he has a small dog
[03:16.170]Searching for aluminum cans
[03:17.550]And he hold on tight to his dignity
[03:20.920]He was born into American Life

[00:48.140]在西西里岛最南端的一个小镇里
[00:50.460]住着一户贫穷但有骨气的家庭
[00:54.390]在父亲因发热而死的那一年
[00:56.650]他们居家赶往美国的一个海岸
[00:58.660]现在母亲和儿子正在排队领救济
[01:02.320]毕竟艾利斯岛很冷
[01:04.500]他们抬头看向自由女神像
[01:08.240]为了自己能有一个美国梦
[01:18.280]Ong是一个老挝难民
[01:37.990]他在一家音响店工作
[01:39.160]烟雾充斥着他的肺
[01:41.660]他挣着最低工资
[01:43.670]把业余时间花费在
[01:46.710]圣帕布罗大道
[01:47.710]一周找一次女人
[01:49.530]他写一些家喻户晓的成功故事
[01:51.860]为了自己能有一个美国梦
[01:58.740]Bob是一个失业的老兵
[03:05.070]在南布朗克斯出生和长大
[03:07.890]他现在住在洛杉矶东部的一条街上
[03:10.450]身家是一个破纸板箱
[03:12.860]现在他有了一只小狗 生活也有了些乐趣
[03:16.170]四处寻找铝罐
[03:17.550]他把自己的尊严紧紧的抓在手里
[03:20.920]他在美国梦中出生
