So here you are what a long way
Seeking a better better life
All you've heard of a place so grand
Appears to have finally come true
You start to wonder about the odd looks
Whispered words you don't understand
Not so simple not easy to grasp
Where's the fabled land paved with gold
You've got it wrong oh please be told
Heed the warning oh please be told
These streets are not
Not paved with gold
Hopeless
Helpless
Hapless
No hope
Gypsy or jew
Are you black or white
Seeking a better better life
All you've heard of a place so grand
Appears to have finally come true
You start to wonder about the odd looks
Whispered words you don't understand
Not so simple not easy to grasp
Where's the fabled land paved with gold
You've got it wrong oh please be told
Heed the warning oh please be told
These streets are not
Not paved with gold
