31. Used Cars

Used Cars, cuenta la historia de una familia que conduce un coche usado ( los pobres no pueden comprar coches nuevos), y como ese crío sueña con que algún día le toque la lotería y no tenga que conducir nunca más un coche usado.

En el tema hay un deje descarado de odio hacia ese mndo mezquino y mediocre que es el Freehold de los primeros años de vida de Bruce, al que Bruce no muestra especial simpatía

" (Yo vuelvo a casa por las mismas calles sucias donde nací" ) y piensa en lo que les diría a sus vecinos ("Y les diria que ya pueden darnos un beso de despedida en el culo")

My sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone

My ma's in the black seat sittin' all alone

As my pa steers her slow out of the lot

For a test drive down Michigan Avenue

Now, my ma, she fingers her wedding band

And watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands

He's telling us all about the break he'd give us

If he could, but he just can't

Well if I could, I swear I know just what I'd do

Now, mister, the day the lottery I win

I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again

Now, the neighbors come from near and far

As we pull up in our brandnew used car

I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry

Tell `em all they can kiss our asses goodbye

My dad, he sweats the same job from mornin' to morn

Me, I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born

Up the block I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowin' that horn

The sounds echoin' all down Michigan Avenue

Now, mister, the day my numbers comes in

I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again
