Lyrics
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
HE'S PAID HIS DUES
HE'S 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 he's 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 he's 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 he's 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
HE'S PAID HIS DUES
HE'S PAID THE PRICE TWICE
BUT HIS SOUL WILL ROT IN PARADISE
