A# G# Fm
Going on and on and on and on
A# G# Fm
This is going on and on and on and on now
A# G# Fm
Said it once and say it twice
I want to save your time
A# G# Fm
Safety, safety

    D#m
It's alright, it's alright
           C#
Cause the system never fails
     Fm
The good guys are in power
         D#
And the bad guys are in jail
       D#m
It's alright, it's alright
        C#
Just as long as we can vote
    Fm
We live in democracy
     D#
And that's what we promote

         A#         G#  Fm
Isn't it? Isn't it?
         A#         G#  Fm
Isn't it? Isn't it?

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:
A#m
If we forget about them, don't worry
Fm
If they forget about us then hurry
D#             C#               D#        G#
How about the people who don't matter anymore?
        A#m
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

            G#                 D#m
Let's keep tanning while it's sunny
                  Fm                  F#
They'll risk our hides to make their money
               G#        F/A
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
