Paroles de Borneo

you're crossing the country
you know exactly what you do
you're wasting my money
with fist clenched tight upon your rule

if we could go to Africa
and stay 'til the decade was through
you know I'd love to be out there
but I'd have so much less to prove

you're making me stutter
with every word I have to speak
I try to act younger
but I've already lost my wisdom teeth

if I could fly to Australia
and swim in an ocean so green
you know I'd love to cleanse the world
I think we've all become a little too mean

so why don't words matter
when you can't win the lottery?
must I handle a rifle
before I am taken seriously?

if I could go to Borneo
or maybe Madagascar
you know no man's an island, neither am I
the stakes just pushed me a little too far
