Nellie Mckay - Caribbean Time lyrics

Caribbean time in motion Fireflyin' across the ocean And I can see the future Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean In the modern potboiler Anesthetize your mind And if you won't be a lawyer You're gonna need an alibi And if you crave bein' an outlaw Better to make a plan For the guns and the promises they feed you Will drag you in the sand Nobody come clever enough Before they get there, move their mainland rough I'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slow For the words of oppression are go, go, go Caribbean time in motion Fireflyin' across the ocean And I can see the future Barbados to Barcelona Caribbean time hereunder I can see the future Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean If you want a dictator You best get organized And if you wan' be a hater You make trains run on time And if you crave a good pupil Bring glory to the schools And mind your Qs and Ps 'cause an island breeze Is breakin' all the rules Caribbean time in motion Fireflyin' across the ocean And I can see the future Antigua to Macedonia Darwinian time is over I can see the future It's no military time It's an island time Nobody come clever enough Before they get there, move their mainland rough I'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slow For the words of oppression are go, go, go Caribbean time in motion Fireflyin' across the ocean And I can see the future Barbados to Barcelona Caribbean time hereunder I can see the future Caribbean, Caribbean Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean It's no military time It's an island time
