Lyrics:

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?
Isn't it? Isn't it?

It's alright, it's alright
At least there's half the truth
Hearing what we want isthe secret of eternal youth
It's alright, it's alright,
The planet splits in three
Cause I'll keep on 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 the people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor, Timor, Timor

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 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

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
If they forget about us then hurry
How about those people who don't matter anymore?

If we forget about them don't worry
If they forget about us then hurry
How about those people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor, Timor, Timor
East Timor, Timor, Timor
East Timor
