| [00:48.140] | In a town in southernmost Sicily |
| [00:50.460] | Lived a family too proud to be poor |
| [00:54.390] | In the year that fever took father away |
| [00:56.650] | They hastened for American shores |
| [00:58.660] | Now a mother and her son are standing in line |
| [01:02.320] | It’s a cold day on Ellis Isle |
| [01:04.500] | And they look to the Statue of Liberty |
| [01:08.240] | For the boy we have American Life |
| [01:18.280] | Ong is a Laotian refugee |
| [01:37.990] | He works in the audio trade |
| [01:39.160] | The smoke from flux is filling his lungs |
| [01:41.660] | He’s earning minimum wage |
| [01:43.670] | Spending spare time down on |
| [01:46.710] | San Pablo ave |
| [01:47.710] | Once a week gets a woman for the night |
| [01:49.530] | And he writes home tales of prosperity |
| [01:51.860] | For the boy we have American Life |
| [01:58.740] | Bob is an unemployed veteran |
| [03:05.070] | Born and bred in the South Bronx |
| [03:07.890] | He’s living off the streets down in east L.A. |
| [03:10.450] | Residing in a cardboard box |
| [03:12.860] | Now he plays a little quit and he has a small dog |
| [03:16.170] | Searching for aluminum cans |
| [03:17.550] | And he hold on tight to his dignity |
| [03:20.920] | He was born into American Life |
| [00:48.140] | In a town in southernmost Sicily |
