|
is this your life, jackie brown? |
|
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town. |
|
Is this your daughter, jackie brown? |
|
This pretty little girl |
|
In the worn out clothes |
|
That have been hand-me down. |
|
Is this your wife, jackie brown? |
|
With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you don't see her frown. |
|
Is this your family, jackie brown? |
|
Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream |
|
And giving the world more than it gave you. |
|
What ugly truths freedom brings |
|
And it hasn't been very kind to you. |
|
Is this your life, jackie brown? |
|
Is this your meal, jackie brown? |
|
Barely enough, i've seen people throw away more than this out. |
|
Is this your home, jackie brown? |
|
This three room shack |
|
With no running water |
|
And the bathroom out back. |
|
Is this your grave, jackie brown? |
|
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took |
|
Himself out. |
|
Is this your dream, jackie brown? |
|
Going nowhere and nowhere fast |
|
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live. |
|
But who gives a damn about jackie brown? |
|
Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his. |
|
One helluva life jackie brown. |
|
Forevermore, jackie brown |
|
Amen and amen - jackie brown? |
