"Timor" lyrics - SHAKIRA

[Intro:]
Timor, Timor
Yale, Yale
East Timor, Timor
Timor, Timor
Timor, Timor

[Break]
Going on and on and on and on
This is going on and on and on and on now
Said it once and say it twice
I want to save your time
Safety, safety

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? (Ooh)
Isn't it? Isn't it? (Ooh)
It's alright, it's alright
If the news says half the truth
Hearing what we want's
The secret of eternal youth
It's alright, it's alright
If the planet split in three
'Cause I'll keep selling records
And you've got your MTV

[Chorus:]
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
They don't show it all 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 it
We'd do it just to pay the bills

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
Let's keep tanning while it's sunny
They'll risk our hides to make their money
Now don't you find that funny?

[Chorus:]
If we forget about them
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
East Timor, Timor, Timor
East Timor
