[00:23.02]I pity the poor immigrant
[00:31.87]Who wishes he would've stayed home,
[00:36.83]Who uses all his power to do evil
[00:41.98]But in the end is always left so alone.
[00:50.93]That man whom with his fingers cheats
[00:56.12]And who lies with ev'ry breath,
[01:06.48]Who passionately hates his life
[01:10.76]And likewise, fears his death.
[01:16.19]music
[01:28.09]I pity the poor immigrant
[01:33.35]Whose strength is spent in vain,
[01:41.66]Whose heaven is like ironsides,
[01:47.36]Whose tears are like rain,
[01:55.83]Who eats but is not satisfied,
[02:01.25]Who hears but does not see,
[02:09.74]Who falls in love with wealth itself
[02:15.28]And turns his back on me.

[02:32.70]I pity the poor immigrant
[02:40.99]Who tramples through the mud,
[02:46.15]Who fills his mouth with laughing
[02:50.57]And who builds his town with blood,
[03:00.14]Whose visions in the final end
[03:05.54]Must shatter like the glass.
[03:14.17]I pity the poor immigrant
[03:19.35]When his gladness comes to pass.
