《The American Dream》歌词

[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 sh*t 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
