دانلود آهنگ American Life از Primus

This is the fourth track on Primus' 1991 album Sailing the Seas of Cheese. The song discusses the views of the United States for those who come here searching for a better life. The song shows that the reality is much more grim than what they may have expected. The song seems to give commentary that American life, for some, is not quite the immaculate dream of a home with white picket fences, but is in fact struggle and poverty for many.

متن آهنگ American Life Primus

[00:10.78] In a town in southernmost Sicily
[00:13.39] Lived a family too proud to be poor
[00:16.11] In the year that fever took father away
[00:18.73] They hastened for American shores
[00:21.56] Now a mother and her son are standing in line
[00:24.36] It's a cold day on Ellis Isle
[00:26.59] And they look to the Statue of Liberty
[00:33.82] For the boy, we have American Life
[00:55.58] Ong is a Laotian refugee
[00:57.78] He works in the audio trade
[01:00.36] The smoke from flux is filling his lungs
[01:03.13] He's earning minimum wage
[01:05.74] Spending spare time down on
[01:07.44] San Pablo Bay
[01:08.57] Once a week gets a woman for the night
[01:10.75] And he writes home tales of prosperity
[01:17.49] For the boy, we have American Life
[02:23.58] Bob is an unemployed veteran
[02:26.13] Born and bred in the South Bronx
[02:28.76] He's living off the streets down in east L.A
[02:31.30] Residing in a cardboard box
[02:33.97] Now he plays a little guitar and he has a small dog
[02:36.69] Searching for aluminum cans
[02:39.11] And he holds on tight to his dignity
[02:46.07] He was born into American Life
[03:13.10]
