Bootstrap Nation歌词完整版
There’s a 7-Eleven at 2nd and Division
where all the hard luck falls
Shells of people stumbling around
breaking down against that wall
When the red light flashes at the intersection
you’re gonna get your court side seats
Fix your gaze in a far off direction
that’s trouble you just don’t need
Well, I guess that’s the nature of the Bootstrap Nation
From the gutter to the pharmacy
Find yourself a means of exploitation
There ain’t nothing you can’t be
This American Dream
This American Dream
Big Jack’s Boy was raised to be a baller
He could run he could pass he could throw
Working on the dreams of his washed up father
It was the only life he’d known
It was a terrible sight when in the glare of them lights
They carted Jack’s boy away
A brace on his neck, a cast on his arm
A bottle of pills to manage the pain
Well, I guess that’s the nature of the Bootstrap Nation
From the gutter to the pharmacy
Find yourself a means of exploitation
There ain’t nothing you can’t be
This American Dream
This American Dream
Could be your mother or your father
Or your little baby brother
Or your strong sweet sister
Or your dear grandmother
Could be the unborn child you fought so hard to save
Or the homeless kid you wish would go away
Could be the all American captain of the team
Who broke in the light of the American Dream
Could be everyone you love
Could be the best of us
Could be the abused, the traumatized and the innocent
Could be the hole in Daddy’s arm
The rising sun
Could be the bottle of pills and the damage done
Could be money in the bank, the human condition
Could be he 7-Eleven at 2nd and Division
Well, I guess that’s the nature of the Bootstrap Nation
From the gutter to the pharmacy
Find yourself a means of exploitation
There ain’t nothing you can’t be
This American Dream
This American Dream
