Lyrics

Condescending down the stairs
I'm condescending down the stairs
I look out
For a moment

Condescending down the stairs
I'm condescending down the stairs
I look down
At the bubbles.

I just know I got something coming
If I got anything coming at all
I just know I got something coming
If I got anything coming at all
I just know I got something coming
If I got anything coming at all
I just know I got something coming
If I got anything coming at all.

There are immigrants I know
Who came like me, as little kids
They think that today
It's so different.

And they believe that immigrants
Shouldn't be allowed to come here anymore
That they're bad
For the economy.

Well, I just know they got something coming
If they got anything coming at all
I just know they got something coming
If they got anything coming at all
I just know they got something coming
If they got anything coming at all
I just know they got something coming
If they got anything coming at all...

Ooh...
Aah...

When I landed I didn't see The Statue of Liberty
Like so many immmigrants
Before me.

In the airplane I didn't sleep
I stayed up watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
In English
I loved it - but didn't understand it.

Then I woke up in the middle of the night
In a big room with golden curtains and a fold-out couch
I thought I was in heaven
Or in Cinderella.

Then I woke up in the middle of the night
In a big room in my cousin's house in Rockland County
I thought I was in heaven
Or in Cinderella.

I heard the swimming pool noises
I didn't know they were swimming pool noises
I heard the swimming pool noises
And there was a dog, a dog, a real live dog!

I heard the swimming pool noises
I didn't know they were swimming pool noises
I heard the swimming pool noises
And there was a dog, a dog, a real live dog!

Ooh...
