I took a train to the end of the line
And when I got off there wasn’t a sign
I asked for directions but no one would talk
I took what would be my longest walk
I am a stranger in my homeland
The language that’s spoken I don’t understand
Please hear my story
Lend me an ear
I had a home but I’ve seen it disappear
These faces look strange to me
Don’t know a single one
They speak in a language
That sounds like a tommy gun
You can say I don’t get it
I’m not being PC
But all of these changes
Only mean the death of me
I am a stranger in my homeland
The language that’s spoken I don’t understand
Please hear my story
Lend me an ear
I had a home but I’ve seen it disappear
You don’t know me and I don’t you
And nothing’s gonna change our world view
This was my home
This land of the free
But we ground it all up
In the name of diversity
I am a stranger in my homeland
The language that’s spoken I don’t understand
Please hear my story
Lend me an ear
I had a home but I’ve seen it disappear
La-dah-dee-dah
La-dah-dah-dee
Farewell to you
My land of the free
