American Skin (41 Shots) (Studio Version) 歌詞
American Skin (41 Shots) - Bruce Springsteen
41 shots
And we'll take that ride
'Cross this bloody river
To the other side
41 shots cut through the night
You're kneeling over his body
In the vestibule
Praying for his life
Is it a gun
Is it a knife
Is it a wallet
This is your life
It ain't no secret
(it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for
Living in your American skin
(41 shots)
(41 shots)
(41 shots)
(41 shots)
41 shots
Lena gets her son ready for school
She says
"On these streets Charles
You've got to understand the rules
If an officer stops you
Promise me you'll always be polite
And that you'll never ever run away
Promise Mama
You'll keep your hands in sight"
Is it a gun is it a knife
Is it a wallet this is your life
It ain't no secret
(it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for
Living in your American skin
(41 shots)
(41 shots)
(41 shots)
(41 shots)
Is it a gun is it a knife
Is it in your heart
Is it in your eyes
It ain't no secret
(it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret
41 shots
And we'll take that ride
'Cross this bloody river
To the other side
41 shots
I got my boots caked in this mud
Baptized in these waters
And in each other's blood
Is it a gun is it a knife
Is it a wallet
This is your life
It ain't no secret
(it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed
Just for living in
You can get killed
Just for living in
You can get killed just for
Living in your American skin
