Down town hangin' about
He said "who's the daddy?"
She said "you are the one"
He said "I am an alien
And quite soon I'll be gone
"Customs and immigration
Want to get rid of me
There's no peace in my nation
I'm a war refugee
"There"s no peace in my nation
I'm a war refugee
There are people in uniforms
Out to get me
"There's no peace in my nation
There's nowhere I can hide
If you really do love me
Will you stay by my side?
"I may groove on the dance floor
But my pain is quite great
I don't know all the answers
But I'm trying to relate
"Since I've been here in exile
I just don't know my fate
And a best- selling tabloids
Always greet me with hate
"There's no peace in my nation
I'm a war refugee
I'm surrounded by war
But there's love inside me
"There's no peace in my nation
and I'm feeling downhearted
When the Beastie Boys get me
I'm told I'll be deported
"So I need you to hold me tight
For tomorrow in court
And I need you fill yourself
with positive forces
'Cos I wanna be wich' yu
And I wanna live
So I need you to give me

The judge set our man free
He was free to be
Indefinitely
Bm
D
And the judge said you can go now
And our joyous refugee
Just said "Thank you, judge,
and now I plan to raise a family"
So he became a citizen
Our angel became a wife
And they had what modern folks would call

They met on the dance floor
On the first of May
And the baby that they had
