[00:11.69]	#ENGINEER #My father was a tattoo artist in Haiphong
[00:14.89]
[00:17.19]	But his designs on mother didn't last too long
[00:20.22]
[00:22.39]	My mother sold her body,
[00:24.63]	high on Betel nuts
[00:26.24]
[00:27.56]	My job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts
[00:32.56]	Selling your mom is a wrench
[00:35.69]	Perfume can cover a stench
[00:38.90]	That's what I learned from the French
[00:41.21]
[00:46.03]	Then it all changed with Dien Bien Phu
[00:48.84]
[00:52.01]	The frogs went home.
[00:52.64]	Who came?
[00:53.57]	Guess who?
[00:55.12]
[00:57.33]	Are you surprised we went insane
[00:59.86]
[01:03.52]	With dollars pouring down like rain?
[01:06.68]
[01:09.74]	Businessmen never rob banks
[01:12.31]	You can sell shit and get thanks
[01:15.83]	That's what I learned from the Yanks
[01:18.94]
[01:20.80]	I'm fed up with small-time hustles
[01:26.26]	I'm too good to waste my talent for greed
[01:31.00]	I need room to flex my muscles
[01:36.57]	In an ocean where the big sharks feed
[01:39.82]
[01:41.76]	Make me Yankee,
[01:44.23]	they're my family
[01:47.82]	They're selling what people need
[01:52.15]
[01:55.30]	What's that I smell in the air
[01:57.95]	The American dream
[02:00.93]
[02:03.09]	Sweet as a new millionaire
[02:06.37]	The American dream
[02:10.01]
[02:11.72]	Pre-packed,
[02:12.87]	ready-to-wear
[02:14.94]	The American dream
[02:17.27]
[02:19.72]	Fat, like a chocolate eclair
[02:23.42]	As you suck out the cream
[02:27.63]
[02:29.52]	Luck by the tail
[02:31.72]
[02:34.29]	How can you fail?
[02:36.31]
[02:38.27]	And best of all,
[02:39.88]	it's for sale
[02:41.24]	The American dream
[02:44.14]
[02:45.91]	Greasy chinks make life so sleazy
[02:50.37]	In the States I'll have a club that's four-starred
[02:54.40]	Men like me there have things easy
[02:58.63]	They have a lawyer and a body-guard
[03:02.64]	To the Johns there I'll sell blondes there
[03:07.45]	That they can charge on a card
[03:13.24]
[03:15.64]	What's that I smell in the air?
[03:18.75]	The American dream
[03:22.28]
[03:23.87]	Sweet as a suite in Bel-air
[03:27.44]	The American dream
[03:30.23]
[03:32.46]	Girls can buy tits by the pair
[03:35.31]	The American dream
[03:37.79]
[03:39.84]	Bald people think they'll grow hair
[03:43.19]	The American dream
[03:46.63]
[03:48.44]	Call girls are lining time square
[03:52.06]	The American dream
[03:54.13]
[03:56.90]	Bums there have money to spare
[04:00.34]	The American dream
[04:03.90]
[04:05.63]	Cars that have bars take you there
[04:08.82]	The American dream
[04:10.81]
[04:13.16]	On stage each night: Fred Astaire
[04:17.13]	The American dream
[04:19.66]
[04:21.72]	Shlitz down the drain!
[04:23.72]
[04:25.62]	Pop the Champagne!
[04:27.60]
[04:29.43]	It's time we all entertain
[04:31.74]	My American dream!
[04:36.49]
[04:45.27]	#ENGINEER & CROWD#Busboys can buy the hotel
[04:46.86]	The American dream
[04:50.42]
[04:52.15]	Wall Street is ready to sell
[04:54.44]	The American dream
[04:57.37]
[04:59.81]	Come make a life from thin air
[05:02.27]	The American dream
[05:04.70]
[05:07.65]	Come and get more than your share
[05:10.16]	The American dream
[05:14.50]
[05:15.33]	#ENGINEER#There
[05:16.30]	I will crown
[05:18.28]
[05:20.18]	Miss Chinatown
[05:23.02]
[05:24.03]	All yours for ten percent down
[05:25.99]
[05:26.65]	#ALL#The American dream!
[05:31.87]

[02:41.24]	美国梦
[02:45.91]	油腻腻的中国佬只会让日子越来越下贱
[02:50.37]	到了美利坚我要开四星级酒店
