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, sn'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 BC

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?)
