[00:00:00] the american dream - jonathan pryce

[00:00:11] my father was a tattoo artist in haiphong

[00:00:17] but his designs on mother didn't last too long

[00:00:21] my mother sold her body, high on betel nuts

[00:00:27] my job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts

[00:00:32] selling your mom is a wrench

[00:00:35] perfume can cover a stench

[00:00:38] that's what i learned from the french

[00:00:45] then it all changed with dien bien phu

[00:00:51] the frogs went home. who came? guess who?

[00:00:57] are you surprised we went insane

[00:01:03] with dollars pouring down like rain?

[00:01:09] businessmen never rob banks

[00:01:12] you can sell shit and get thanks

[00:01:15] that's what i learned from the yanks

[00:01:20] i'm fed up with small-time hustles

[00:01:26] i'm too good to waste my talent for greed

[00:01:31] i need room to flex my muscles

[00:01:36] in an ocean where the big sharks feed

[00:01:41] make me yankee, they're my family

[00:01:46] they're selling what people need

[00:01:54] what's that i smell in the air

[00:01:58] the american dream

[00:02:03] sweet as a new millionaire

[00:02:07] the american dream

[00:02:11] pre-packed, ready-to-wear

[00:02:15] the american dream

[00:02:20] fat, like a chocolate eclair

[00:02:23] as you suck out the cream

[00:02:28] luck by the tail

[00:02:33] how can you fail?

[00:02:37] and best of all, it's for sale

[00:02:40] the american dream

[00:02:45] greasy chinks make life so sleazy

[00:02:50] in the states i'll have a club that's four-starred

[00:02:54] men like me there have things easy

[00:02:57] they have a lawyer and a body-guard

[00:03:02] to the johns there i'll sell blondes there

[00:03:06] that they can charge on a card

[00:03:14] what's that i smell in the air?

[00:03:17] the american dream

[00:03:22] sweet as a suite in bel-air

[00:03:26] the american dream

[00:03:31] girls can buy tits by the pair

[00:03:34] the american dream

[00:03:39] bald people think they'll grow hair

[00:03:43] the american dream

[00:03:47] call girls are lining time square

[00:03:51] the american dream

[00:03:56] bums there have money to spare

[00:03:59] the american dream

[00:04:04] cars that have bars take you there

[00:04:07] the american dream

[00:04:12] on stage each night: fred astaire

[00:04:16] the american dream

[00:04:20] shlitz down the drain!

[00:04:24] pop the champagne!

[00:04:28] it's time we all entertain

[00:04:31] my american dream!

[00:04:44] girls boys invited to hotel

[00:04:46] the american dream

[00:04:51] wall street designed to sell

[00:04:54] the american dream

[00:04:59] come make a life from the hell

[00:05:01] the american dream

[00:05:07] come and get more than your share

[00:05:09] the american dream

[00:05:14] there i will crown

[00:05:19] miss chinatown

[00:05:22] all yours for ten percent down

[00:05:25] the american dream!
