Artist: Shakira Album: Oral Fixation Vol 2 (2005) Title: Timor
Lyrics TimorIt'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
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
The planet's split in three
'Cause I'll keep selling records and you've got your MTV
If we forget about 'em, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore
If we forget about 'em, 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 itall on TV
So we won't really know it
Just by watching *BC
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 'em, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore
If we forget about 'em, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore
East Timor, Timor, Timor |
