Don't Blame The Immigrant

lyrics

Don't Blame The Immigrant

When you are strugglin, and you got nowhere to turn
Your rage is bubblin, fire start to burn
We all want someone to blame, we all want someone to goat
But you see powers that be, want us at each others throat

Dont blame the immigrant, When its your own government
Dont blame the foreign man When the problems come from your own land
Dont you blame your nextdoor neighbor Who just tryin to lend his labor
Dont blame a powerless soul When its the people at the top you know

They’re taking our jobs, ooo oo, but that just aint true
They’re doing the work no one will do, and they’re not takin nothin’ ’away from you

So dont ya blame the immigrant when its your own government
Dont blame another color, cant you see that hes your brother
Dont ya blame another religion there isn’t only one right vision
Dont blame a country far away, when its your own dam CIA

Dont blame the immigrant, when its your own government
Dont blame a powerless soul, when it’s the people at the top you know
Dont blame a foreign man, when you live on stolen land
Dont scapegoat, dont resent, dont you blame the immigrant

It really wont help your soul, It really wont ease your mind,
it really wont get you far, we’ll all fall farther behind
It really wont lift you up, it really wont set you free
It really wont get you far...
