He was strong just for his mother, barely turned 13
When life made a man of him
His father took the train to Bombay just to make a living
On the tracks, he said to him
I'm not a perfect man
I'd never claim to be
This life's so hard living
But loving you is so easy
No, oh
American Bollywood
He was strong just for his lover, already 24
By the time he first saw snow
American dreams were hard to conjure without a bed to sleep in
When she was sick, he said to her

I'm not a perfect man
I'd never claim to be
This life's so hard living
But loving you is so easy
American Bollywood
American Bollywood
American Bollywood
American Bollywood
American Bollywood, oh
American Bollywood, yeah
American Bollywood
American Bollywood, oh
