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 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 says half the truth
Hearing what we want is
The secret to eternal youth
It's alright, it's alright,
The planet's split in three
'Cause I'll keep on selling records
And you've got your MTV
If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about the 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 schow it all on TV
So we won't really know it
Just by watching *BC
It's alright, it's alright
For a flag we die or kill
As long as we don't know we
Do it just to pay their bills
If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor
Timor, Timor
Let's keep tanning the world it's sunny
They risk our hides to make their money
Now don't you find that funny?
If we forget about 'em
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about those people who don't matter anymore?
If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about those people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor
Timor, Timor
East Timor
Timor, Timor
East Timor
