"This World Will Remember Me" from "Bonnie and Clyde"

CLYDE
The men in this town
Live and die and are forgotten
And it doesn't seem to scare 'em
I can't wait to get away

Away from the drought
And the homeless and the hungry
Where they talk about foreclosures
Every hot and dusty day

I don't intend to waste
My life 'round here
I got it all mapped out
If I can pull just three jobs a year
I'll be rich, I'll have wealth and fame
Everyone will know my name

BONNIE
Pull three jobs? What does that mean?
What do you think it means?

Just like Billy the Kid
And Mister Capone
Every kid will idolize Clyde Barrow
One thing, young lady, I guarantee
Is that this world will remember me
Yes, this world will remember me

Don't you think it's time
That you lost that egg-stained apron
And wore somethin' made of satin
From a fine Manhattan store?

Yes, I can see you
In a car with your own driver
You are headed to your penthouse
That will overlook the shore

Your face should be up on that silver screen
You got that It Girl look

I can't believe that you see that in me
I always knew I'd be a star
How intelligent you are

We are wasted 'round here
We're too good for this place
We weren't born to live and die in Texas

This is my plan, there's no plan B
And this world will remember me
You and this world will remember me

"That's What You Call a Dream" from "Bonnie and Clyde"

Just an ordinary life,
Easy days and quiet nights,
Lazy walks beside a stream:
Now that's what you call a dream.

No ideas and no big plans,
Happy with the way things are,
No one with a scam or scheme:
Now that's what you call a dream.

These dreams of yours make no sense at all.
It's what's inside, not what's out there.
We both could have a perfect life
And not go anywhere.

You miss a lot when you ask too much.
You're all I need not one thing more, Buck.
All I ever wanted
Is on this side of the door.

Children playing in the barn.
Buck is rocking in his chair.
In the house the candles gleam.
Now that's what you call a dream.

In the house the candles gleam.
Now that's what you call a dream.

"What Was Good Enough For You" from "Bonnie and Clyde"

CLYDE
What was always good enough for you, Paw,
Hate to say ain't good enough for me.
Plowin' fields and planting seeds
Till your mind and body bleeds, no way.
Up before dawn and you stop when you drop.
Then you ask your God to forgive.
Prayin' for rain, without rain there's no crop
This ain't no way to live.
What was always good enough for you, Paw,
Will not satisfy your wayward son.
Jessie James had much more fun
Building dreams with just a gun.
That's how the west was once.

BONNIE
What was always good enough for you, Maw,
Gotta say ain't good enough for me.
Making punch and baking pies,
Painting barns and swatting flies.
Oh, no.
Writing a diary is tough around here.
Boring as hell, sorry Maw.
I wanna wear diamonds, one stud for each ear.
Bright as the morning star.
What was always good enough for you, Maw,
Will not satisfy your little girl.
More to life than potting plants
I don't want to miss my chance.
I'm looking for romance.

CLYDE
This country's had it's day.
Depression and breadlines
Are all that tomorrow will bring.

BONNIE
Tell it, Clyde.

CLYDE
The bible has got it wrong
Just look at the poor.
Babe, the meak don't inherit a thing!

BOTH
There ain't nothing good enough, for us dear.
We deserve what we are gonna get.
This world should be notified.
It'll be a bumpy ride.
Thanks to Bonnie and Clyde!
