[Intro]

Timor, Timor

Yale, Yale

East Timor, Timor

Timor, Timor

Timor, Timor

[Break]

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

[Verse 1]

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)

Isn't it? Isn't it? (Ooh)

It's alright, it's alright

If the news says half the truth

Hearing what we want's

The secret of eternal youth

It's alright, it's alright

If the planet split in three

'Cause I'll keep selling records

And you've got your MTV

[Chorus]

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 2]

It's alright, it's alright

They don't show it all on TV

So we won't really know it

Just by watching *BC

It's alright, it's alright

For our flag, we die or kill

As long as we don't know it

We'd do it just to pay the bills

[Chorus]

If we forget about them, don't worry

If they forget about us then hurry

How about the people who don't matter anymore?

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

[Bridge]

Let's keep tanning while it's sunny

They'll risk our hides to make their money

Now don't you find that funny?

[Chorus]

If we forget about them

If they forget about us then hurry

How about the people who don't matter anymore?

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

East Timor, Timor, Timor

East Timor
