Israel Lyrics

Were you here five thousand years ago
Promising the promised land
Corinthians, Corinthians
Dancing on unbroken burning sand
Where no trees or living things would grow
Selling the romantic dream
Phoenicians, Phoenicians
Real estate is hard to find, ideas undermined
Wrong place and wrong time

Goodbye, good thing
Africa's a lonely place
Goodbye, good thing
Missionaries in position pray
Oh Israel
Have you lost what other never find
Blame the unforgiving sun
Arabians, Arabians
Neighbours are so hard to tame
When you don't look the same
Give them a smile say
Goodbye, good thing
Africa's a lonely place
Goodbye, good thing
Missionaries in position pray
Oh Israel
