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