Welcome To Paradise

[Verse]
                               
Country’s gone crazy - people are blind
                                               
forced to buy boxes - when there’s no boxes to find
  
just million dollar lean too’s
                         
where’s the contract to sign
                                           
gotta noose around my neck - but this box is mine

[Chorus]
                                            
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
                                         
jippee jippee yeah - hope there is no regret
                                         
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
                                  
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise

[Verse]
                                         
now I am sitting in my box, on Marine Parade
                                                 
watching 20.000 cars passing by from morning till late
                                         
but I don’t really care, cause the view is ok
                                           
neighbours in his toilet and it’s a beautiful day.

[Chorus]
                                            
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
                                                 
got a million dollar home - and hope it was a good bet
                                         
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
                                  
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise

[Verse]
                                            
when I come from work, I like to swim in the sea
                                               
gotta put my wetsuit on to avoid the poo and the pee
                                               
but I don’t really mind, cause when I close my eyes
                                               
I can dream about a clean blue sea, just like paradise

[Chorus]
                                            
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
                                            
jippee jippee yeah - but swimming keeps me fit
                                         
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
                                  
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise

[Verse]
                                            
the rivers and the lakes are looking sadly green
                                               
minister says it’s swimmable but I am not that keen
                                               
cause all the farmers cows are dumping in the stream
                                               
and I don’t really want to get sick - if you know what I mean

[Chorus]
So I sing...
                                            
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
                                       
jippee jippee yeah - and I m so sick of it
                                           
cause everybody says - we are so clean and green
                                           
welcome to paradise - now you know what I mean.
