lyrics

Immigrant

I was an immigrant then
I left my home with the best of intents
Only to land on the streets
I am a man, and I'll take what I need.

I was a worker then
You'd be surprised how the body can bend
Caught in the teeth of machines
Crushed by the gears, but released by the wheel.

I volunteered for the war
Me & the boys, well, we gave them what for
Now we lay shot on the field.
Stare at the stars, and they turn like a wheel
