Nellie McKay - Caribbean Time Lyrics
Caribbean time in motionFireflyin' across the oceanAnd I can see the futureCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanIn the modern potboilerAnesthetize your mindAnd if you won't be a lawyerYou're gonna need an alibiAnd if you crave bein' an outlawBetter to make a planFor the guns and the promises they feed youWill drag you in the sandNobody come clever enoughBefore they get there, move their mainland roughI'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slowFor the words of oppression are go, go, goCaribbean time in motionFireflyin' across the oceanAnd I can see the futureBarbados to BarcelonaCaribbean time hereunderI can see the futureCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanIf you want a dictatorYou best get organizedAnd if you wan' be a haterYou make trains run on timeAnd if you crave a good pupilBring glory to the schoolsAnd mind your Qs and Ps 'cause an island breezeIs breakin' all the rulesCaribbean time in motionFireflyin' across the oceanAnd I can see the futureAntigua to MacedoniaDarwinian time is overI can see the futureIt's no military timeIt's an island timeNobody come clever enoughBefore they get there, move their mainland roughI'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slowFor the words of oppression are go, go, goCaribbean time in motionFireflyin' across the oceanAnd I can see the futureBarbados to BarcelonaCaribbean time hereunderI can see the futureCaribbean, CaribbeanCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanCaribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanIt's no military timeIt's an island time
