Lyrics
0:07I pity the poor immigrant
0:12Who wished he'd stayed home
0:19Who uses all his power to do evil
0:24And in the end is always left alone
0:34Like men who with his fingers cheats
0:41And who lies with every breath
0:50Who passionately hate his life
0:57And likewise fears his death
1:06I pity the poor immigrant
1:13Who's strength is all in vain
1:22Who's heaven is like iron sides
1:29Who's tears fall like rain
1:38Who eats but is not satisfied
1:45Who hears but does not see
1:53Who falls in love with wealth and self
2:00And turns his back on me
2:56I pity the poor immigrant
3:03Who tramples through the mud
3:13Who fills his mouth with laughing
3:18And who builds his town with blood
3:28Who visions it may finally
3:34Must shatter like the glass
3:44I pity the poor immigrant
3:49Who his gladness comes surpass
I pity the poor immigrant Who wished he'd stayed home Who uses all his power to do evil And in the end is always left alone Like men who with his fingers cheats And who lies with every breath Who passionately hate his life And likewise fears his death I pity the poor immigrant Who's strength is all in vain Who's heaven is like iron sides Who's tears fall like rain Who eats but is not satisfied Who hears but does not see Who falls in love with wealth and self 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 Who visions it may finally Must shatter like the glass I pity the poor immigrant Who his gladness comes surpass
