Harp |
| Don’t pity this poor immigrant |
| My eyes were open when I caught the boat |
| All I wanted was your shelter |
| And maybe just a little hope |
| But you turned your anger on me |
| For the courage that you lack |
| I don’t want your half assed freedom |
| You can have the whole deal back |
| So now I’ll tell you something |
| Let’s get this straight from the start |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| You said: «Bring me your poor and destitute |
| And I can kick them when they’re down» |
| Cause there’s always enough misery |
| And we’ll be sure to share it round |
| Now I’ll turn my anger on you |
| For the decency you lack |
| For the morals you fail to uphold |
| Your cocaine, crack and smack |
| To the land that wears it’s heart up front |
| I’m screaming from the back |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| And the ghettos almost full now |
| It’s time for trash to move uptown |
| And the sight of all those beggars |
| On the streets must really get you down |
| Soon they’ll turn their anger on you |
| For the promises you broke |
| For all the lies you told them |
| As their dreams went up in smoke |
| And I feel I stand among them |
| As I shout this from the heart |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| You built your land on principles |
| Decent, brave and true |
| I find it hard to understand |
| Just what went wrong with you |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| Don’t call me Harp |
| (Rpt, 1st Verse) |
