[PREACHER]

I don't care how hard the hardship


No one has a right to steal
And you cannot buy your soul back
God don't make that kind of deal

When your prayers all go unanswered


And the dust is getting worse
And you live near open sewers
With just pennies in your purse

That is when the good Lord


Will become your Saviour
He will lead you to the light

We are all God's children


His arms always open
We must all do what is right!

You may be in debt


Wake up in a sweat
But let's not forget
You were made in America!

[BREADLINE FOLKS]
We may be in debt
Wake up in a sweat
But let's not forget
We were made in America!
We were made in America!

BONNIE
(nervous)
Wait, wait. So, all I gotta do is sit in the car while you hold up the store, right?
CLYDE
And keep the engine runnin’.
BONNIE
Oh my God, I’m nervous.
CLYDE
Maybe you shouldn’t be doin’ this.
BONNIE
(suddenly)
Wait a minute. Did you see the movie, Shadow of the Law?”
CLYDE
No.
BONNIE
Clara Bow has no choice but to join a criminal gang -- so she pretends to go crooked. But
really, she’s carefully plottin’ her--
CLYDE
Bonnie.
BONNIE
Okay. I’m ready now.
(They run off.)

[BREADLINE FOLKS]
You can't blame 'em, who could blame 'em?
Ain't their fault they turned to crime

[SOLO]
A bar of soap's a luxury
Don't get much change from a dime

[BREADLINE FOLKS]
You can't blame those kids for wantin'
To fill up their shopping bags

[SOLO]
City Hall is low on kindness
But it don't run out of flags

[ALL]
They both grew up hungry
They were heading nowhere
Thanks to good old USA

[PREACHER] (BREADLINE FOLKS)


All who sin must answer (Ooh all who sin–)
And these two will answer (And those two–)
They will face a judgement day (Judgement day)

CUMIE
Have you heard from your brother?
BUCK
I got a letter. Him and Bonnie are okay.
(hands her letter)
Make sure you burn it.
HENRY
What the hell is he thinkin’ bustin’ outta prison again?
BUCK
Clyde ain’t never gonna stay in prison.
HENRY
Papers say he’s been robbin’ again.
BUCK
Pa. Folks are callin’ him a hero.

[BREADLINE FOLKS]
Sure they robbed some men
And they will again
Poor kids, ah, but then
They were made in America

They had holes in every shoe


No dream can come true
They stole - wouldn't you?

[ALL]
We may be in debt
Wake up in a sweat
But let's not forget
We were made in America
We may be in debt
Wake up in a sweat
How can we forget
We were made in America
We were made in America
We were made in Ameri-
Made in Ameri-
Made in America!
