Safe European Home Lyrics

Well, I just got back an' I wish I never leave now
Who dat Martian arrival at the airport yeah
How many local dollars for a local anaesthetic
The Johnny on the corner was a very sympathetic
I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again.
Wasn't lucky an' wouldn't it be loverly
Send us all cards, an' have a laying in on a Sunday
I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell
That Natty Dread drinks at the Sheraton Hotel?
I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again.
They got the sun, an' they got the palm trees
They got the weed, an' they got the taxes
Whoa, The Harder They Come, an' the home of ol' bluebeat
Yes I'd stay an' be a tourist but I can't take the gunplay
I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again.
