Black 47 - Livin' In America

 (versiyon 1)

Oh, it's 6 o'clock and it's time to rock

And me head is beatin' like a drum

In the cold gray light, ah I feel like shite

And I can't remember last night's fun



Then the foreman says, "C'mon now boys

Stick your fingers down your throat and get to work"

And I wish to Christ, I'd stayed home last night

Instead of drinkin' in America



Oh, I knock down walls with big iron balls

And I mix cement by the ton

With me tongue hangin' out for a bottle of stout

Sweatin' bullets in the Brooklyn sun



Then I think of her up on Kings Bridge Road

Did she mean what she said last night

Oh Mammy dear, we're all mad over here

Livin' in America



On me way downtown, I think of that clown

And the things that he said last night

Did he mean 'em at all or was it just drink talk

Oh, I must look a terrible sight



Put me makeup on as I watch the sun

Rise high over Fordham Road

Oh Mammy dear, we're all mad over here

Livin' in America



Oh, the kids aren't dressed and the house is a mess

And the yuppies are networkin' again

Kiss their darlin's goodbye, oh, we'll be late tonight

But we should be home by eleven



Oh, me little dears dry up your tears

Your parents are too busy makin' money

Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here

Livin' in America



Workin' with the black man, Dominican and Greek

In the snows of January or the drenchin' August heat

No sick days or benefits and for Christ sakes don't get hurt

The quacks over here won't patch you up

Unless they see the bucks upfront



Lookin' after babies from crack of dawn 'til dusk

Changin' dirty nappies and cleanin' up the house

Is this what I've been educated for

To wipe the arise of every baby in America?



Now the day is done, take the subway home

Squashed up like some sardine in a a can

In the Blarney Stone, drink a gallon of foam

'Til I'm feelin' half myself again



If she comes tonight, I'll ask her outright

Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained

And if she takes a chance, she might find romance

Now she's livin' in America



See him standing there with the ring in his ear

And the grin on the side of his face

With the fag in his mouth, oh I should watch out

For they say that he's a real hard case



Should I take me chance or say no thanks?

Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained

Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here

Livin' in America



Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here

Livin' in America

Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here

Livin' in America

Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here

Livin' in America
