I Pity the Poor Immigrant
Lyrics
I pity the poor immigrant Who wishes he would've stayed home Who uses all his power to do evil But in the end is always left so alone ♪ That man whom with his fingers cheats And whom lies with every breath Who passionately hates his life And likewise fears his death ♪ I pity the poor immigrant Whose strength is spent in vain Whose heaven is like Ironsides Whose tears are like rain ♪ Who eats, but is not satisfied Who hears, but does not see Who falls in love with wealth itself And turns his back on me ♪ I pity the poor immigrant Who tramples through the mud Who fills his mouth with laughing And who builds his town with blood ♪ Whose visions in the final end Must shatter like the glass I pity the poor immigrant When his gladness comes to pass
