Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin' across the ocean
And I can see the futureCaribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanIn the modern potboiler
Anesthetize your mind
And if you won't be a lawyer
You're gonna need an alibiAnd 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 sandNobody 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, goCaribbean time in motion
Fireflyin' across the ocean
And I can see the futureBarbados to Barcelona
Caribbean time hereunder
I can see the futureCaribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanIf you want a dictator
You best get organized
And if you wan' be a hater
You make trains run on timeAnd 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 rulesCaribbean time in motion
Fireflyin' across the ocean
And I can see the futureAntigua to Macedonia
Darwinian time is over
I can see the futureIt's no military time
It's an island timeNobody 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, goCaribbean time in motion
Fireflyin' across the ocean
And I can see the futureBarbados to Barcelona
Caribbean time hereunder
I can see the futureCaribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, CaribbeanIt's no military time
It's an island time
