Romero
And his bride, Yulie
Shop apartments
Heat of the day
Here’s a good one
Says to her husband
He’s sweating bullets
So much to pay
She got a good job
Works at the high school
Her first job
She ever had
He ain’t working
Not for not trying
Can’t catch a break and
It’s making him mad
But they want, want for nothing
Got each other, but that’s about all
Got each other but that’s about all
Crowd of men
Behind Seven-‘leven
Day labor van
Romero’s inside
It’s risky, he
Don’t know what he’s doing
One misstep, he
Won’t come home tonight
They want, want for nothing
Got each other, but that’s about all
Got each other but that’s about all
Sunset
Yulie in the kitchen
She is cooking
Soup from a can
Romero
Slumped at the table
He is exhausted
But feeling the man
And they want, want for nothing
Got each other, but that’s about all
Got each other but that’s about all
Yeah they want, want for nothing
Got each other, but that’s about all
Got each other
Ain’t that about us all?
