A Long Way from Home Songtext

A Long Way From Home

In London, Berlin
Skinheads are movin' in
They got the songs, the boots and beer
Homegrown bigot every one a patriot
Just like we gotém over here
When times get rough
People ain't got much
They think you're trying to take it away
They look for a scapegoat
Throw him from the lifeboat
He ain't like us anyway
And you're damned if you do
Damned if you don't
No place for you in the middle of the road
You're walkin' on a knife's edge
Runnin' for your life
There ain't no place for you tonight
You're a long way from home
You're got a long long way left to go

On a hot night a knife fight
Underneath a street light
Sounds like the same old song
This front, that front
Nothin' but a witchhunt
Send you back where you belong

And you're damned if you do
Damned if you don't
No place for you in the middle of the road
You're walkin' on a knife's edge
Runnin' for your life
There ain't no place for you tonight
You're a long way from home
You're got a long long way left to go

You're a long way from home
You've got a long way to go...
