Livin' In America - Black 47[00:00:00]
Oh it's 6 o'clock and it's time to rock[00:00:05]
And me head is beating like a drum[00:00:09]
In the cold grey light[00:00:13]
Ah i feel like shite[00:00:16]
And i can't remember last night's fun[00:00:18]
Then the foreman says[00:00:22]
Come on now boys[00:00:25]
Stick your fingers down[00:00:27]
Your throat and get to work[00:00:29]
Hello i wish to Christ[00:00:32]
I'd stayed home last night[00:00:34]
Instead of drinking in America[00:00:36]
Oh i knock down walls with big iron balls[00:00:41]
And i mix cement by the ton[00:00:45]
With me tongue hanging out[00:00:50]
For a bottle of stout[00:00:52]
Sweating bullets in the Brooklyn sun[00:00:55]
Then i think of her up on Kingsbridge Road[00:00:59]
Did she mean what she said last night[00:01:04]
Oh Mammy dear[00:01:08]
We're all mad over here[00:01:11]
Living in America[00:01:13]
On me way downtown[00:01:27]
I think of that clown[00:01:29]
And the things that he said last night[00:01:31]
Did he mean'em at all[00:01:35]
Or was it just drink talk[00:01:38]
Oh i must look a terrible sight[00:01:40]
Put me makeup on as[00:01:45]
I watch the sun rise high over Fordham Road[00:01:47]
Oh Mammy dear[00:01:54]
We're all mad over here[00:01:56]
Living in America[00:01:59]
Ah the kids aren't dressed[00:02:03]
And the house is a mess[00:02:05]
And the yuppies are networking again[00:02:08]
Kiss their darlin's goodbye[00:02:12]
Oh we'll be late tonight[00:02:14]
But we should be home by eleven[00:02:17]
Oh me little dears dry up your tears[00:02:21]
Your parents are too busy making money[00:02:26]
Oh Mammy dear[00:02:31]
We're all mad over here[00:02:33]
Living in America[00:02:35]
Working with the black man[00:02:40]
Dominican and Greek[00:02:42]
In the snows of January[00:02:45]
Or the drenching August heat[00:02:46]
No sick days or benefits[00:02:49]
And for Christ sakes don't get hurt[00:02:51]
The quacks over here won't patch you up[00:02:53]
Unless they see the bucks upfront[00:02:56]
Looking after babies from crack of dawn'til dusk[00:02:58]
Changing dirty nappies and cleaning up the house[00:03:02]
Is this what i've been educated for[00:03:07]
To wipe the arse of every baby in America[00:03:10]
Now the day is done take the subway home[00:03:53]
Squashed up like some sardine in a can[00:03:57]
In the Blarney Stone drink a gallon of foam[00:04:02]
Till i'm feeling half meself again[00:04:06]
If she comes tonight[00:04:11]
I'll ask her outright[00:04:13]
Ah what the hell[00:04:15]
Nothing ventured nothing gained[00:04:16]
And if she takes a chance[00:04:20]
She might find romance[00:04:22]
Now she's living in America[00:04:25]
See him standing there with the ring in his ear[00:04:29]
And the grin on the side of his face[00:04:34]
With the fag in his mouth[00:04:38]
Oh i should watch out[00:04:40]
For they say that he's a real hard case[00:04:43]
Should i take me chance or say no thanks[00:04:47]
Ah what the hell[00:04:51]
Nothing ventured nothing gained[00:04:53]
Oh Mammy dear[00:04:56]
We're all mad over here[00:04:59]
Living in America[00:05:01]
Oh Mammy dear [00:05:05]
We're all mad over here[00:05:08]
Living in America[00:05:10]
Oh Mammy dear [00:05:14]
We're all mad over here[00:05:17]
Living in America[00:05:20]
Oh Mammy dear [00:05:23]
We're all mad over here[00:05:26]
Living in America[00:05:28]
