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 a democracy And that's what we promote Isn't it, Isn't it?
It's alright, it's alright If the news says half the truth Hearing what we want is the secret of eternal youth It's alright, it's alright If the planet splits in three Cause I'll keep selling records and you've got your MTV
If we forget about them don't worry If they forget about us then hurry How about a people who don't matter anymore? If we forget about them, don't worry If they forget about us, then hurry How about a people who don't matter anymore? East Timor. Timor. Timor.
It's alright, it's alright They don't show it all on TV So we won't really know it Just by watching BBC
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
Let's keep tanning while it's sunny They'll risk our hides to make their money Now don't you find that funny
If we forget about them don't worry If they forget about us then hurry How about a people who don't matter anymore? If we forget about them, don't worry If they forget about us, then hurry How about a people who don't matter anymore? East Timor. Timor. Timor.
