so new workers like me cannot
get hired, much less get paid.

“And those very same people
ignore foreigners who work cheap,
they can work, and break the law,
But the same can’t be done by me!

“And then the proposed solution

You won't believe what I went through when I went to a black man's barbershop.

Then that punk shaved off all of my hair.
As I looked at...

The lines are blurred when blended
I know first hand that govenment grilled cheese sandwiches

veins 
it’s what’s in you heart, how you feel inside
I only have...

You’re not welcomed here anymore
You got no business here anymore
You got no right to come in here anymore
You don’t have to come here anymore.

You leave for work
Come back later just to leave

yea, I said it and it remains.  Watch the smoke sizzle 
to a sign that says "Fear God". Biff. Low and oppressed doesn't 
mean take the devils bs: belittling seriously.

Pick a tune with pazazz.
Play that great old time Jazz.

Piano man was what he said he was called.
Percussion he didn’t need to keep us enthralled.
Pianoforte, this was his instrument of choice.
Pacifying and entertaining with his velvet voice.

Piano man hit heights. 
Please play those black and whites.	
Pick a tune with pazazz. 
Play that great old...

 Ruby Tuesday caught him on the rebound
 They met at a Rolling Stones Concert
 He was glad she came into his life, he conceded
 She was nice to have around
 To fill the void his heart needed

 Before he met her, he was in...
