Letra de Make It In America
I remember my dad taking both of his cars back
I remember losing our house, the one we had in the cul-de-sac
I remember those clothes, we sold in the yard for some cash (Some cash)
Maybe those three lines are the reasons I am obsessed
With things that I don't have and wish that I could possess
If I think about it too much, it's sad that I get depressed (Depressed)
When my body dies, my body dies, I can't save a thing
When my soul flies, when my soul flies, I can't take one thing
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
Every which way but I'm runnin' in place
And my whole world is standin' right in front of me
(Why do I, do I, do I)
Why do I fight so hard for things wrapped in material?
Everyone that cares I let slip away
When all my worth is layin' right here next to me
(Why do I, do I, do I)
What if I get rich just to have the same problems
That I got right now? I need to learn how to solve 'em
What if money is time? Then I better spend all of it, all of it
When my body dies, my body dies, I can't save a thing
When my soul flies, when my soul flies, I can't take one thing
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
Every which way but I'm runnin' in place
And my whole world is standin' right in front of me
(Why do I, do I, do I)
Why do I fight so hard for things left to material?
Everyone that cares I let slip away
When all my world is layin' right here next to me
(Why do I, do I, do I)
When my body dies, my body dies, I can't save a thing
When my soul flies, when my soul flies, I can't take one thing
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
Every which way but I'm runnin' in place
And my whole world is standin' right in front of me
(Why do I, do I, do I)
Why do I fight so hard for things left to material?
Everyone that cares I let slip away
When all my world is layin' right here next to me
(Why do I, do I, do I)
I remember losing our house, the one we had in the cul-de-sac
I remember those clothes, we sold in the yard for some cash (Some cash)
Maybe those three lines are the reasons I am obsessed
With things that I don't have and wish that I could possess

When my body dies, my body dies, I can't save a thing
When my soul flies, when my soul flies, I can't take one thing
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
