THE UGLY AMERICAN
lyrics: ithaka music conley abrams III

Sold the house in LA, apartment New York
Twenty-hour nonstop to Nairobi airport

Bought a deluxe black Range Rover
With tinted windows and cd-sorter

Bought a map, headed for coast
Bought thirty-acres beachfront and brand new boat

Paid natives to burn down trees
Who the hell were they to disagree ?

Needed room for tennis court and swimming pool
In this land too, rich usually rule

Built a house like no house ever seen
Fifteen bedrooms all fit for kings

A year later, palace complete
Bel Aire mansion in the African heat

HES PAID HIS DUES
HES PAID THE PRICE TWICE
BUT HIS SOUL WILL ROT IN PARADISE

Electric fence, five-meters high
Keep out the crooks, but the monkeys die

But hes a Man and a man has to protect his land
From thieves and thugs trying to get the upper hand

A satellite dish and internet
Alone he drinks gin at sunset

Out on the veranda overlooking the sea
Indeed he pretends to be pleased


No convenience did he sacrifice
Cuz hes got the goods, he got the merchandise

He raped his maid, but what can she do ?
Her mama needs medicine, her kids need food

But hes a Man, bad man, sick man, evil man
But a rich man and rich men rule the land

Killed a rhino while he smoked a cigar
High-powered shot from a moving car

Paid a bribe to the game park ranger
To keep his identity a stranger

HES PAID HIS DUES
HES PAID THE PRICE TWICE
BUT HIS SOUL WILL ROT IN PARADISE
