Timor

Timor, Timor
Yale, Yale
East Timor, Timor
Timor, Timor
Timor, Timor
Going on and on and on and on
This is going on and on and on and on now
Said it once and say it twice
I want to save your time
Safety, safety
It's alright, it's alright
'Cause the system never fails
The good guys are in power and the bad guys are in jail
It's alright, it's alright
Just as long as we can vote
We live in a democracy and that's what we promote
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Oooh
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Oooh
It's alright, it's alright
If the news say half the truth
Hearing what we want is the secret of eternal youth
It's alright, it's alright
If the planet splits in three
'Cause I'll keep selling records and you've got your MTV
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor
Timor, Timor
Ooh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
It's alright, it's alright
They don't show it all on TV
So we won't really know it just by watching BBC
It's alright, it's alright
For our flag, we die or kill
As long as we don't know we'd do it just to pay their bills
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore?
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor
Timor, Timor
So let's keep tanning while it's sunny
They'll risk our hides to make their money
Now, don't you find that funny?
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore?
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor
Timor, Timor
East Timor
Timor, Timor
East Timor
