Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Timor, Timor
Yale, Yale
East Timor, Timor, Timor
Timor, Timor, Timor
[Verse 2]
Going on and on and on and on
This is going on and on and on and on now
Said it once, we'll say it twice
We want to save your time
Safety, safety
[Verse 3]
It's alright, it's alright
'Cause the system never fails
The good guys are in power
And the bad guys are in jail
[Verse 4]
It's alright, it's alright
Just as long as we can vote
We live in democracy
And that's what we promote
[Verse 5]
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
[Verse 6]
It's alright, it's alright
If the news says half the truth
Hearing what we want's the secret of eternal youth
[Verse 7]
It's alright, it's alright
If the planet split in three
'Cause I'll keep selling records, and you've got your MTV
[Verse 8]
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor, Timor, Timor
[Verse 9]
It's alright, it's alright
They don't show all on TV
So we won't really know it
Just by watching *BC
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
[Verse 12]
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor, Timor, Timor
[Verse 13]
Let's keep tanning while it's sunny
They'll risk our hides to make their money
Now don't you find that funny?
[Verse 14]
If we forget about them
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
[Verse 15]
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
[Verse 16]
East Timor, Timor, Timor
East Timor, Timor, Timor
East Timor
