Immigrant Blues by Mark Evich Lyrics
[Intro]
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
[Verse 1: Mark Evich]
7 dollars a day is all I had
Wishing better days are still ahead
They will never know the pain I feel inside
They will never fight the fight I chose to fight
Chicken noodle soup for three dollars
Wendy's four for four seven days a week
99 cents worth foodtown fake meet
Never knew how little I really need
Landlord saved a dollar
Got me freezing in a tiny room
Got sick and spilled hot drink on my computer
How I'll pay my dues?
But something made me stay
I knew there's now mistake
But something made me stay
I knew there's now mistake
[Chorus: Mark Evich]
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
[Verse 2: Jeffandy AllTogether]
Heard the story told over and over again
Momma said
Get what need and leave this city ain't yo friend
Never imagined a man would take you and lead
Half a million bodies cross the blue ocean sea
Four hundred years later try to say that you free
But deportation making families get up and leave
It ain't what it seems
[Chorus 2: Jeffandy AllTogether & Mark Evich]
These be the immigrant blues yeah
When there ain't nothing to lose yeah
These are my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
These be the immigrant blues yeah
When there ain't nothing to lose yeah
These are my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
[Verse 1: Mark Evich]
7 dollars a day is all I had
Wishing better days are still ahead
They will never know the pain I feel inside
They will never fight the fight I chose to fight
Chicken noodle soup for three dollars
Wendy's four for four seven days a week
99 cents worth foodtown fake meet
Never knew how little I really need
Landlord saved a dollar
Got me freezing in a tiny room
Got sick and spilled hot drink on my computer
How I'll pay my dues?
But something made me stay
I knew there's now mistake
But something made me stay
I knew there's now mistake
[Chorus: Mark Evich]
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
This is my immigrant blues yeah...
I ain't got nothing to lose yeah...
