Country’s gone crazy - people are blind
GC
Forced to buy boxes - when there’s no boxes to find
D
just million dollar lean too’s
C
where’s the contract to sign
Am D G
gotta noose around my neck - but this box is mine
GC
Jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
GC
Jippee jippee yeah - hope there is no regret
DC
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
Am DG
Jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
GC
Now I am sitting in my box on Marine Parade
GC
Watching cars passing by from morning till late
D C
But I don’t really care cause the view is ok
Am DG
Neighbours in his toilet and it’s a beautiful day
GC
Jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
GC
got a million dollar home - and hope it was a good bet
DC
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
Am DG
Jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
GC
When I come from work I like to swim in the sea
GC
gotta put my wetsuit on to avoid the poo and the pee
DC
but I don’t really mind cause when I close my eyes
Am D G
I can dream about a clean blue sea just like paradise
GC
Jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
GC
Jippee jippee yeah - but swimming keeps me fit
DC
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
Am DG
Jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
GC
The rivers and the lakes are looking sadly green
GC
Minister says it’s swimmable but I am not that keen
D
cause all the farmers cows
C
are dumping in the stream
Am D G
and I don’t really want to get sick - if you know what I mean
So I sing…
GC
Jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
GC
Jippee jippee yeah - but I’m not sick of it and I'm so sick of it
DC
cause everybody says - we are so clean and green
Am DG
welcome to paradise - now you know what I mean
