Lyrics

PAGE C6 IN THE METRO SECTION

There’s a guy who works for Tony as his trainer and masseuse
Oh my lord he’s got the immigration blues
Oh tell me how long will he have to wait?
Can he keep working , or must he emigrate ?

TW Perry said he’d be the perfect fit
But the stupid politicians want to block his citizenship
Oh tell me how long would he have to wait?
Can he keep his job, or must he emigrate?

No matter if you’re Carson, Donald Trump or Teddy Cruz
They all want him deported though he’s always paid his dues
Oh tell me how long will he have to wait ?
Can he keep working, or must he emigrate?

He’d hope to go unnoticed or considered taking flight
Even feeling suicidal now he’s ready to fight
Oh tell me how long would he have to wait?
Can he keep working or must he emigrate?

Now I ain’t a migrant ain’t no migrant’s son
But to help him fight for justice,
we can’t just sit and suck our thumbs
Oh tell me how long will he have to wait ?
Can you support him now, or will we hesitate ?

    I didn't know if you are a masseuse, but I needed the rhyme for 'blues. Sso if you are good with that, well, you are welcome. People should investigate your Define American organnization and the "COMING OUT" campaign you are now part of.
