My daddy used to have an old well back home
The kind that spat millions and could never go wrong
He said my little kiddy you got to fight that war
Against the little côngs that made us look like whores

I said daddy why the hell should I go
We´ve got our little back yard that´s pissing gold
Let me plant some bananas and build myself a land
I´m sure you´ve got some people who´d
Be glad to give a hand


Banana Nation
Is my salvation
I can´t do anything but sing in jubilation
Don´t blow my cover
Don´t give me over
I´ll make you prince beside the king
and babe you won´t to go

I say, an oil well´s nice but I´d rather have two
It turn´s out my neighbour´s got one too
I´d like to go take it but I need an excuse
Cause no one will vouch for me in this world of fools

So I called up my daddy and said daddy daddy
Someone else has got a welly full of fucking oily
And he said kiddy kiddy there´s a way to get it willy
don´t worry

"Just charge him with having nukes!"

Banana Nation
Is my protection
It came to me in a dream just like a revelation
When I look over
My tiny shoulders
I see the world around us rot and
babe I know I´ll never leave

And I´ve been trying
To keep it hidden
I´ve been succeeding
In being god Myself
By just denying all the sadness of our world
All the prayers I never heard.

If I had a dream then it would
be myself
Because why the heck
would I wanna be somebody else
I´ve got all one could hope for
And still I´m not satisfied
Until the whole universe has had me ratified

I´m the worst nightmare of the rational world
The absolute leader of my civilised herds
Other chiefs of state cannot but envy my condition
Causes I´m a permanent threat to civilisation

Banana Nation
Is my inspiration
I´m so proud to have given birth to this institution
Watch out I´m coming
To push you over
You´ll have no peace as long as I´m around I´ll sink you
In the ground

Banana Nation
Is my consecration
A big step on the way to world domination
Don´t try to call us
Don´t try to be us
Because we are wealthy babe and you´re not
We´ll never ever ever open that door
We´ll never ever ever open that door
We´ll never ever ever open that door
Banana Nation!
