Lyrics:

On the land beyond the beach
Where the smell of flowers fills the air
There's a man beyond your reach
There's no trouble that can touch him there
He's the ruler of the island
Citizens will suffer for his style
They go hungry everyday
Seems to me a case of far-off place

There's something wrong in Paradise
Now someone's got to pay the price
I'm sorry sir I can't deny
There's something wrong in Paradise

Eating up the grapes and fruits
In a garden that's beyond compare
He don't ever have to move
Servants cater to his ev'ry care
He's so full of island rum
He's oblivious to native groans
Beat so angrily they moan
Not so distant from his safety zone

There's something wrong in Paradise
Now someone's got to pay the price
I'm sorry sir but I'm not blind
There's something wrong in Paradise

On the land beyond the beach
There's the smell of bloodshed in the air
And a man beyond your reach
He's asleep and doesn't seem to care
There's a banging at his door
It's the wretched army of before
Now they pillage and they rape
Acting so much like the man they hate

There's something wrong in Paradise
Now someone's got to pay the price
I'm sorry sir I won't be kind
There's something wrong in Paradise
So many wrong in paradise
