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
