(Verse 1)
He was the. perfect man.. a gentleman really
and very scholarly.. How did he end up at this building?
Unemployment made him homeless. Just a ditch and some clothes
He had to get some food to live, but the Soup Kitchens were closed.
He tried the basics: A sign and a can ,
but, after weeks of beggin, didn't get a dime in his hand.
Applied for aid way back, they must've ignored it
I guess compared to other people he just wasn't important
How did he even get here in the first place? He was
Fired from his job for calling off on his birthday.
No one was employing, so he had to leave his home
just to pay for education. There's no help. He's alone. He still
couldn't foot the bill. The college gave him the boot
Ignored his situation and basically bankrupt him, too,
..No parents to help an orphan at birth made him a nomad.
He's independent so he took it into his own hands
(Chorus)
Welcome To America
(X8)
Just another story.
(Verse 2)
No food can make you crazy: maybe that's why he's so angry,
taking anger out on strangers now, and taking all their change. He's
changing places every day because they chase him every day.
He steals because he has to. Money reigns us today,
and turns the pure into the wicked.
The cure isn't in prison.
Just concentrate the criminals: I'm sure that will fix it.
Nah, it just made him worse,
and made him take a dangerous turn
down a path. He found a man that
stated ways to make it work
He knew his life and weakness.
saw through his mind and breached it.
Said he knew what he needed.
Our gentle man believed him.
There is no happy ending.
The two men planned a deadly..
bank robbery that, honestly, hadn't a chance of ending..
badly. It was a success, but, as for sharin' the
money, the other man murdered our characta'.
He lost his characta'
because the system is unfair, but uh..
well.. I guess.. welcome to America.
(Chorus)
Welcome To America
(X8)
Just another story.
