lyrics

Eden For A Few

i came to this country
and hoped to make a buck
i had heard of streets of gold
but i was out of luck

still i found a decent job
and sent the bulk back home
now they say they’ll throw me out
no mercy can be shown

they say that i’m stealing
this job that they won’t do
what a crazy frightened land
just eden for a few

how i miss my family
but they need me to earn
if i flew to hold my son
then i could not return

so i’m in this limbo
this place i have to stay
sometimes i just want to scream
and blow these walls away

chorus

i pray god will help me
but so far not so much
he got used to fancy food
and lost the common touch

they say that i’m stealing
this job that they won’t do
what a crazy frightened land
just eden for a few
