Original Broadway Cast of Allegiance - Paradise lyrics

[Verse 1] My fellow Americans, give me your tyre, your poor Your home, your business, your money Just mark yes to question 27 and 28 And I, mike masaoka, will let you stay right here, in paradise [Verse 2] Dessert, swamps or dusty waste, they say location is key Sure you shiver in ice box, but cheer up, rent is free And don't you love to freeze in line for soggy bowls of rice Just put up and shut up, cause you're in paradise Is everybody happy? No Tough [Verse 3] When it's pitch black dark at night, the army might a**ume That you're trying to escape, if you're running to the bathroom Let them aim their spotlights down, but smile real nice Just put up and shut up, cause you're in paradise [Verse 4] Ain't it grand in paradise? The water taste like rust, the bedding is filled with crabby lice Need a little sound advice You better take my sound advice Just put up and shut up, cause you're in paradise [Verse 5] Now they aim to separate, disloyal from the rest All you have to do to past, just hold your nose and answer yes But no, no, seals your fate, and you will pay a heavy price They'll grab you, and send you, away from paradise [Verse 6] Ain't it grand in paradise? The snakes will let you be, if you feed them all that mice If you answer no twice Lord if you took if twice You no, no, you'll go, go, away from paradise [Verse 7] You don't want to take that chance, so answer yes, yes Do the paradise dance, whoo Come on ladies [Outro] Paradise Hey everybody, it's for our own good right? Paradise So we better just do what we should right? Put up, and shut up Just put up and shut up Just put up and shut up Just put up and shut up Just shut it up, you're in, paradise Ain't this paradise
