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 hopeBut 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 backNow let me tell you something

Let's get this straight from the start

Don't call me Harp

Don't call me HarpYou 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 roundNow I'll turn my anger on you

For the decency you lack

For the morals you fail to uphold

Your cocaine, crack and smackTo the land that wears it's heart up front

I'm screaming from the back

Don't call me Harp

Don't call me HarpAnd the ghetto's almost full now

It's time the trash was moved uptown

And the sight of all those beggers on the streets

Must really get you downSoon 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 smokeAnd I feel I stand among them

As I shout this from the heart

Don't call me Harp

Don't call me HarpYou built your land on principles

Decent, brave and true

I find it hard to understand

Just what went wrong with youDon't call me Harp

Don't call me Harp
