See original, then my effort at alternative/parody lyrics (US music humour site Amiright no longer publishing/taking submissions) - have a chuckle!

(to Refugee by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers 1979)
(So wanna live like a) Refugee
We got problems, we all know it
Inflatable beached, air let out it
Lefty lawyers crying "Human Rights"
Somehow, they get around it
Listen, put you up four star luxury, maybe
Money for nothin', house is for free
You see, I so want to live like a refugee
(So wanna live like a refugee)
Thrown off towers
Singled out for just, oh, "being so handsome"(?)
Tell me why your wife stayed there
'n' travel: kids you abandon?
Listen, put you up four star luxury, maybe
Money for nothin' & your house is for free
You see, I so want to live like a refugee
(So wanna live like a refugee)
Not maybe, I so want to live like a refugee
(So wanna live like a refugee)
Oh!
Natives, we ain't the first
...priority, what other country is worse?
If your kids got placed in school, well, it's
...hard to believe these "boys" are sittin' there, too
Thrown off towers
Singled out for just, oh, "being so handsome"(?)
Who knows, why your wife & kids stayed there & you ran away
You're a coward, and some
Listen, put you up four star luxury, maybe
Money for nothin' & your house is for free
You see, I so want to live like a refugee
(So wanna live like a refugee)
Oh, I so want to live like a refugee
(So wanna live like a refugee)
Oh, I so want to live like a refugee
(So wanna live like a refugee) oh, oh, oh!
