Richie Havens – I Pity the Poor Immigrant Lyrics

Artist: Richie Havens
Song: I Pity the Poor Immigrant

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 who lies with every breath
Who passionately hates his life
And likewise, fears his death

When I think about it…
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 hеars but does not see
Who falls in love with wealth itsеlf

And turns his back on me
I pity the poor immigrant
Who tramples through the rain and 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
Oh, I pity the poor immigrant

When his gladness comes to pass
