Lyrics
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? (ooh-ooh)
Isn't it, isn't it? (ooh-ooh)
It's alright, it's alright
At least there's half the truth
Hearing what we want's the secret of 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
We'll show all on TV
So we won't really know it just by watching TBC
It's alright, it's alright
For a flag we die or kill
As long as we don't know it, do it just to pay the 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 telling the world it's sunny
They risk their hides to make the 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
