American Life - Primus[00:00:00]

In a town in southernmost Sicily[00:00:10]

Lived a family too proud to be poor[00:00:13]

In the year that fever took father away[00:00:16]

They hastened for American shores[00:00:19]

Now a mother and her son are standing in line[00:00:21]

It's a cold day on Ellis Isle[00:00:24]

And they look to the Statue of Liberty Liberty Liberty[00:00:27]

For the boy we have American life[00:00:34]

Ong is a Laotian refugee[00:00:55]

He works in the audio trade[00:00:58]

The smoke from flux is filling his lungs[00:01:00]

He's earning minimum wage[00:01:03]

Spending spare time down on[00:01:06]

San Pablo ave[00:01:07]

Once a week gets a woman for the night[00:01:08]

And he writes home tales of prosperity prosperity prosperity[00:01:11]

For the boy we have American life[00:01:17]

For the boy we have American life[00:01:23]

Bob is an unemployed veteran[00:02:24]

Born and bred in the South Bronx[00:02:26]

He's living off the streets down in east L A[00:02:29]

Residing in a cardboard box[00:02:31]

Now he plays a little quit and he has a small dog[00:02:34]

Searching for aluminum cans[00:02:37]

And he hold on tight to his dignity dignity dignity[00:02:39]

For the boy we have American life[00:02:46]

He was born into American life[00:02:51]

For the boy we have American life[00:02:56]
