"Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em That's what the Statue of Bigotry says Your poor huddled masses Let's club 'em to death And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard"
I've been re-listening to Theme Time Radio Hour on my runs. This song features in the theme New York. Dylan introduces it “here is a man who couldn't be defeated, Lou Reed”

From his 1989 album New York. The icy stare of the amoral observer can, sometimes, give rise to a compassionate voice then tip over into social commentary - and even politics tinged with outrage. Here the outrage is vividly explicit.

Sad news about Lou Reed's passing. Was lucky enough to see him perform the New York album in the late 80's. A true legend.
