One two three four[00:00:00]

Somewhere downtown a pretty girl kneels[00:00:09]

Offers her soft lips and a handful of pills[00:00:13]

Peels off her dress and then the rest of her skills[00:00:17]

Buys what she wants and the rest she just steals[00:00:20]

He speaks between deep swallows of rum[00:00:25]

While her head is beating like a big bass drum[00:00:28]

And she wishes he were mute and not just dumb[00:00:32]

When the trick asked her quick[00:00:36]

Did you come[00:00:38]

It's a drag saluting that starry rag[00:00:40]

I'd rather go blind for speaking my mind[00:00:46]

Or use it just like a gag[00:00:49]

So raise it in anger just let it hang[00:00:53]

American gangster time[00:00:57]

He sits back and starts to invent[00:01:07]

All about some Saigon correspondent[00:01:10]

'Til the carbine fell silent and spent[00:01:14]

I never knew it could be so eloquent[00:01:18]

Next week there'll be some fashionable new sin[00:01:22]

For each harlot and each Puritan[00:01:25]

Pull off their wings stick 'em on a pin[00:01:29]

And just watch the money roll in[00:01:33]

It's a drag saluting that starry rag[00:01:36]

I'd rather go blind for speaking my mind[00:01:43]

Or use it just like a gag[00:01:46]

So raise it in anger just let it hang[00:01:50]

American gangster time[00:01:54]

What you got hidden up your sleeve[00:02:04]

The tracks of the train that were bidding you to leave[00:02:06]

When they say that you should flatter to deceive[00:02:10]

Don't count on any reprieve[00:02:15]

The hands of the helpless are raised[00:02:19]

Your dead little secrets are praised[00:02:22]

The people stand dumbstruck and dazed[00:02:26]

By the inches that you have erased[00:02:29]

It's a drag saluting that starry rag[00:02:33]

I'd rather go blind for speaking my mind[00:02:39]

Or use it just like a gag[00:02:43]

So raise it in anger just let it hang[00:02:47]

American gangster time[00:02:51]

Committing the perfect crime[00:02:54]

In American gangster time[00:02:58]

Here we go[00:03:07]

Bye bye[00:03:19]

American gangster time[00:03:34]
