Down town hangin' about

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

And our joyous refugee
Just said "Thank you, judge,
