In the happy isles of Oceania
The people are free
Beautiful mountains
Beautiful rivers
Beautiful lakes
Beautiful beaches
Beautiful people
Everyone is clean and free - here
Everybody lives in peace and harmony
In the happy isles of Oceania
We're the least corrupt place in the world
Because we say so
We are honest as the day is long
And in the summer - day is long
In the happy isles of Oceania
We're so clean
We're so green
It don't even matter if you gotta problem
You just gotta have the right kind of problem
Then you can come and live with us
In the happy isles
Of Oceania
We're here to help you
In the happy isles
Of Oceania
Oceania
Come and help yourself
It's a free country
No problem
In the happy isles of Oceania

Color of Your Skin

The colour of your skin
Don't mean a thing
What's pumping through your head
Through the pleasure and the pain
In a world locked in war
Like I said before
Don't know what we're fighting for
And I don't know nobody who sanctions war
Yet we're fighting nobody
The colour of our skin
Don't mean a thing
The colour of our skin
Yes you heard me right
You bet your life
It's not the colour of your skin
Or the place you’re living in
Watching movies
Cause we've been deceived
We find a reason for a war
What's pumping through your head
Did you hear what I said
The colour that is spilt
To justify a war
But all the same colour
Is pumping through your heart
Pumping through your head
And you guessed again
The colour isn't red
Not the colour of your skin
All the same colour within
The same colour within
The same colour within
The colour is red
Pumping through your heart
Pumping through your head

I remember the day
I was learning to fly
The instructor got out
He said that you
Are ready
I said - are you sure
He said you're ready
You have control
Go ahead and fly
You have control
I'll get out of your way
So you can fly
Never felt
So afraid
I never felt
That I would make it
I wasn't ready
Alone to fly
Fly
It was so close
I nearly died
Learning to fly
Never again for the rest of my life
Did I try learning to fly
Never again to try
On my lonesome to fly
You have control

Green Man

Everybody stand before the little red man
Waiting for the green man walking
Rich or poor
Strong or weak
Young or old
They don't need to do what they're told
Cause all they do is stand for the little red man
Waiting for the green man walking
And the stranger by your side
Could be a friend for life
If you had the time
Talking, waiting for the green man (talking)
Everybody stand
For the green man
Man starts walking
Everybody stand for the little red man
Waiting for the green man
Walking
Do you have time
Talking
To the stranger
Could become a friend
Everybody knows
Don't need to be told
Everybody knows to stand before the little red man
Green man

How many miles into the sky
Does the albatross dare to fly
Wingspan wide, perfect flight
With the fuel of hope inside
Give me the answer I am a fool
Divorced from nature
And playing it cool
Like an ignorant fool
Trashing the earth
For all that I'm worth
I can fly higher and faster than you
O what a prize - when I do
The born again's say end will come any day
The buddha didn't know and if he knew he wouldn't say
Give me the answer
Cause I am a fool
(I'm) playing it cool
Trashing the earth
All that I'm worth
Eat junk food
Pollute the mind
Working for money
Or wasting time
Chasing little fads
And looking to find
Your lonely perfect spiritual
State of mind
Give me the answer
I am a fool
Divorced from nature
Playing it cool
Playing it cool
I'm just a fool
Trashing the earth
(For) All that I'm worth
How many miles into the sky
Can you fly?
How many miles into the sky
Does the albatross dare to fly
Wingspan wide, perfect flight
With a view of hope inside
Give us the answer
Playing it cool
Playing it cool
