Island in the
Sun |
| Welcome to the third
world Hurry up, don't be late If you want to meet the president Put a coin in the plate Welcome to the third world Check your wings at the gate Doesn't matter what you know You can be a candidate Welcome to a state of mystery How you count depends on where you go You can have a piece of history Everything depends on who you know CHORUS We got manatees and oranges We got centipedes and guns All our citizens are foreign Just an island in the sun Just an island in the sun You can take a tour bus You can rent a Ryder truck Hitch a ride in a limousine If you want to try your luck See the little children Breaking into the gym See them looking for a better world They should learn how to swim Some of us are only here to die Other people dying to get in Many of us have no place to live Everybody waiting for a win CHORUS Welcome to a state of mystery How you count depends on where you go You can have a piece of history Everything depends on who you know CHORUS |
