the american dream - jonathan pryce[00:00:00]
my father was a tattoo artist in haiphong[00:00:11]
but his designs on mother didn't last too long[00:00:17]
my mother sold her body, high on betel nuts[00:00:21]
my job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts[00:00:27]
selling your mom is a wrench[00:00:32]
perfume can cover a stench[00:00:35]
that's what i learned from the french[00:00:38]
then it all changed with dien bien phu[00:00:45]
the frogs went home. who came? guess who?[00:00:51]
are you surprised we went insane[00:00:57]
with dollars pouring down like rain?[00:01:03]
businessmen never rob banks[00:01:09]
you can sell shit and get thanks[00:01:12]
that's what i learned from the yanks[00:01:15]
i'm fed up with small-time hustles[00:01:20]
i'm too good to waste my talent for greed[00:01:26]
i need room to flex my muscles[00:01:31]
in an ocean where the big sharks feed[00:01:36]
make me yankee, they're my family[00:01:41]
they're selling what people need[00:01:46]
what's that i smell in the air[00:01:54]

sweet as a new millionaire[00:02:03]
the american dream[00:02:07]
pre-packed, ready-to-wear[00:02:11]
the american dream[00:02:15]
fat, like a chocolate eclair[00:02:20]
as you suck out the cream[00:02:23]
luck by the tail[00:02:28]
how can you fail?[00:02:33]
and best of all, it's for sale[00:02:37]
the american dream[00:02:40]
greasy chinks make life so sleazy[00:02:45]
in the states i'll have a club that's four-starred[00:02:50]
men like me there have things easy[00:02:54]
they have a lawyer and a body-guard[00:02:57]
to the johns there i'll sell blondes there[00:03:02]
that they can charge on a card[00:03:06]
what's that i smell in the air?[00:03:14]
