Lyrics
0:13Is this your life
0:14Jackie Brown
0:18Poorly educated and forced to live
0:24On the poor side of town
0:30Is this your daughter Jackie Brown
0:35This pretty little girl
0:38In the worn out clothes
0:40That have been hand me down
0:48Is this your wife Jackie Brown
0:52With sad blue eyes
0:56Walking on eggshells
0:58So you don't see her frown
1:02Is this your family Jackie Brown
1:08Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream
1:12And giving the world more than it gave you
1:19What ugly truths
1:21Freedom brings
1:24And it hasn't been very kind to you
1:31Is this your life Jackie Brown
2:14Is this your meal Jackie Brown
2:19Barely enough
2:22I've seen people throw
2:24More than this out
2:31Is this your home Jackie Brown
2:36This three room shack
2:39With no running water
2:42And the bathroom out back
2:48Is this your grave Jackie Brown
2:53This little piece of limestone that says
2:57Another desperate man
3:00Took himself out
3:03Is this your dream Jackie Brown
3:09Going nowhere and nowhere fast
3:13We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
3:20Who gives a dumn about Jackie Brown
3:25Just another lazy man
3:27Who couldn't take what was his
3:31One helluva life Jackie Brown
3:37Forever more Jackie Brown
3:43Amen and amen Jackie Brown
Is this your life Jackie Brown Poorly educated and forced to live On the poor side of town Is this your daughter Jackie Brown This pretty little girl In the worn out clothes That have been hand me down Is this your wife Jackie Brown With sad blue eyes Walking on eggshells So you don't see her frown Is this your family Jackie Brown Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream And giving the world more than it gave you What ugly truths Freedom brings And it hasn't been very kind to you Is this your life Jackie Brown Is this your meal Jackie Brown Barely enough I've seen people throw More than this out Is this your home Jackie Brown This three room shack With no running water And the bathroom out back Is this your grave Jackie Brown This little piece of limestone that says Another desperate man Took himself out Is this your dream Jackie Brown Going nowhere and nowhere fast We shame ourselves to watch people like this live Who gives a dumn about Jackie Brown Just another lazy man Who couldn't take what was his One helluva life Jackie Brown Forever more Jackie Brown Amen and amen Jackie Brown
