Bilingual
In a town in south north Sicily
Lived a family too proud to be poor
In the year that the fever took the father away
They hastened for American shores
Now modern it's understanding in mind
It's a cool day on L.S.I
And they look to the Statue of Liberty
For the boy we have American life
On was a low-waged refugee
And he worked in the audio trade
The smoke from the flux is filling his lungs
As he's earning minimum wage
Spending spare time down on San Pablo Ave
Once a week gets a woman for the night
And he writes home tales of prosperity
For this boy we have American life
Bob is an unemployed veteran
Born and bred in the south Bronx
He's living up the streets down in East L.A
Residing in a cardboard box
He plays a little kit and he has a small dog
Searching for aluminum cans
And he holds on tight to his dignity
For this boy we have American life
Bob is an unemployed veteran
Born and bred in the south Bronx
He's living up the streets down in East L.A
Residing in a cardboard box
He plays a little kit and he has a small dog
Searching for aluminum cans
And he holds on tight to his dignity
For this boy we have American life
For this boy we have American life
For this boy we have American life
For this boy we have American life
