Charlie Don’t Care
copyright 2025

VERSE 1
Charlie lost it all in the bankruptcy
Now he works the night shift at the factory
Sixty years old and starting over
Spends his days drinking at the 4 leaf clover

VERSE 2
He blames it on those illegal immigrants
If it weren’t for them he’d be living like a prince
They come over here and steal our jobs
Living on welfare and breaking our laws

CHORUS
Charlie don’t care
Get them all out of here
Back to Mexico
It’s time for them to go

Charlie don’t care
It just ain’t fair
They’re taking what’s mine
It’s a story as old as time


VERSE 3
Late one night in the factory
Charlie got his hand caught in the machinery
And the only one around to hear his cries
Was a migrant named Julio
Charlie looked him dead in the eye

VERSE 4
Julio stood there for just a few seconds
Cuz knew how Charlie felt about Mexicans
He asked hombre, “what would you do?
It was in that moment
That Charlie knew




BRIDGE
On the border of Mexico
That’s where Charley was born
He lived and worked each day
Beside the people he was taught to hate

VERSE 4
When the lights are burning in the factory
I wonder ‘bout Julio and Charlie
And how did this world become so cruel
We are born knowing the right thing to do

CHORUS
Charlie don’t care
Get them all out of here
Back to Mexico
It’s time for them to go

Charlie don’t care
It just ain’t fair
They’re taking what’s mine
It’s a story …as old as time
