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 sh*t 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]

The American dream[00:01:58]

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]

The American dream[00:03:17]

Sweet as a suite in Bel-air[00:03:22]

The American dream[00:03:26]

Girls can buy tits by the pair[00:03:31]

The American dream[00:03:34]

Bald people think they'll grow hair[00:03:39]

The American dream[00:03:43]

Call girls are lining time square[00:03:47]

The American dream[00:03:51]

Bums there have money to spare[00:03:56]

The American dream[00:03:59]

Cars that have bars take you there[00:04:04]

The American dream[00:04:07]

On stage each night: Fred Astaire[00:04:12]

The American dream[00:04:16]

Shlitz down the drain [00:04:20]

Pop the Champagne [00:04:24]

It's time we all entertain[00:04:28]

My American dream [00:04:31]

Girls boys invited to hotel[00:04:44]

The American dream[00:04:46]

Wall Street designed to sell[00:04:51]

The American dream[00:04:54]

Come make a life from the hell[00:04:59]

The American dream[00:05:01]

Come and get more than your share[00:05:07]

The American dream[00:05:09]

There I will crown[00:05:14]

Miss Chinatown[00:05:19]

All yours for ten percent down[00:05:22]

The American dream[00:05:25]
