Pink Lincolns - Tourist [1997 version] lyrics

Gonna pack my suitcase Because I'm going far away It's time for my vacation And I'll be gone for twenty days I'm a tourist, and I feel the anguish I'm a tourist, and I can't speak the language Gone to see the world I've been saving up all year I'll throw away my money On stupid souvenirs I'll send out fifty postcards To my friends so dear I'd say I'm having fun And I wish that you were here I'm a tourist, and I feel the anguish I'm a tourist, and I can't speak the language There's one thing I just can't stand That's going to a foreign land Everybody checks you out 'Cause they've got no clue what your life is all about {Guitar solo} Don't understand their money So they give me the shaft And when I try to speak their lingo Well, they just look at me and laugh Ha, ha, ha, ha! They make me feel uneasy They smile when they offend When they come to my country I'm gonna laugh at them I'm a tourist, and I feel the anguish I'm a tourist, and I can't speak the language I'm a tourist, and I'm feeling so alone I'm a tourist, and I wanna go home
