Israel

Were you here five thousands years ago?

Promising the Promised Land

Corinthians, Corinthians

Dancing on unbroken burning sand

Where no trees or living things would grow

Selling the romantic dream

Phoenicians, Phoenicians

Real estate is hard to find, ideas undermined

Wrong place and wrong time

Goodbye, good thing

Africa's a lonely place

Goodbye, good thing

Missionaries in position pray

Oh! Israel!

Yeah, once more

Have you lost what others never find?

Blame the unforgiving sun

Arabians, Arabians

Neighbors are so hard to tame

When you don't look the same

Give them a smile say

Goodbye, good thing

Africa's a lonely place

Goodbye, good thing

Missionaries in position pray

Oh! Israel!

Goodbye, good thing

Africa's a lonely place

Goodbye, good thing

Missionaries in position pray

Goodbye, good thing

Israel!

Goodbye, good thing

Israel!
