I heard one man call another man a “camel fucker”
"Go die in your homeland you brown faced
Dromedary lover
So you managed to destroy the place you’re from
We the people reject your plea to come
go back to your sand pit”
I heard one man call another man a “sand n--”
“Stay outta my way man cause I ain’t afraid to pull this trigger
So the piece of piece shit muslim president finally let you in
Well I grew up here and my face doesn’t look like him
And I am America”
Give me your tired your poor
But here’s the New New Colossus
We’ll take refugees from places
That don’t hang people on crosses
Cause here we just burn those
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
"But these wretched are too wretched for me"
"Send these homeless tempest-tossed ones home"
"It’s not my fault they don’t got one"
I heard one man call another man a "camel fucker"

You're Alive

It’s not your age or your face
It’s the drugs you do
That make me
Not wanna be around you
God, I think you’re pretty
But you don’t turn me on
I love it when you’re talking to me
Not just rambling on
Amble on
If we touch it’s to remember
Who we are inside
I’ve got to know
You’re more than breathing
You’re alive
It’s not your shape or your name
Or the guys you do
That make me
Not wanna think about you
God, you’re really something
But I’d have to start drinking again in order to love you
I didn’t come this far to cut and run
I don’t gamble hun
Shamble on
If we touch it's to remember
Who we are inside
I’ve got to know
You’re more than breathing
You’re alive

I’m writing this song on New Years Eve
I wrote one a year before
It was a sad dark tune about my broken heart and snow and
Not knowing where you were
Another year has passed and I’m lifting a glass
To say goodbye and hello to the new
But the only thing I wanted for Christmas was to be close to you
Hey hey merry Christmas
Hey hey happy New Year too
When the ball drops in Manhattan
And he leans his head in close to yours
And your heart speeds up and your palms sweat honey listen
Well he’s in your eyes and you taste his breath
But there’s something you’re probably missing
Cause you shouldn’t be kissing who you’re kissing
Hey hey merry Christmas
Hey hey happy New Year too
I spent last year trying to make things right, but
Sometimes I try to fight
New York City remains a light in the dark
I need a thread to sew my broken heart
So much leaving and returning
So many ambitious dreams
Sometimes leave me empty
Sometimes leave me stumbling
When your mother calls to say happy new year
Remember all the moments we shared
I’ll be singing in a bar with some friends quite aware
That you’re not there
I hear the man in your mouth isn’t in your heart
I hope you find a way to tell him the truth
And remember the pace of it’s rhythm when it was me and you
Hey hey merry Christmas
Hey hey happy New Year too
