Hawaiian Island World Lyrics - Singles - World Party

I heard about the trouble they had down on the farm 

They said they lost all the white horses and half of the corn 

Woman of the house she came screaming into town 

We said, "Sister why go crying when you can watch it all burn down 

And sit here dreaming of our Hawaiian island world?" 

Preacher said his church has been empty two Sundays in a row 

I said, "No Father please forgive them for they do not what they know" 

Been called on by the devil, your man from down below 

And traded in their free-will for a part in Satan's show 

And they don't hear the screaming of a dying virgin girl 

They just sit there wanting their Hawaiian island world, oh, oh, oh, oh 

The shopkeeper from Illinois came round 

A freshly fired gun in his hand 

He said he'd just shot a young poet 

For writing something he didn't understand 

Gone were the lines that he loved to forget 

Safe were the folk words of truth would upset 

With God right behind him, his gun by his side 

There was nowhere for these weirdos to run or to hide 

The day of their judgment it was due to arrive 

Get them on the record and make sure they don't survive 

And we can all sit watching our Hawaiian island world
