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.
