Overseas lyrics

Life in New Zealand is pleasant enough

When we turn twenty two it's not violent enough

We want fast pace and fast trains and much bigger clubs

We want money and kudos and much stronger drugs

We skimp, we save, we go overseas

We pimp, we slave so we get what we need

When we get there we try very hard to believe

That it's better

When we go overseas to a much bigger place

We're still doing the same things, but not with much space

On the subways and airplanes there's no friendly faces

We're working so hard that the history is wasted

We skimp, we save, we go overseas

We pimp, we slave so we get what we need

When we get there we try very hard to believe

That it's better

We skimp, we save, we go overseas

We leave those behind who give us what we need

In two years we return with a sigh of relief

But we say it was better
