Spamburgers in Paradise Songtext
von Intellectual Dark Wave

Well it′s getting pretty cold
Over here in Baltimore
I wish that I was on an island
Drinking at a Tiki bar
I'm going to take off early from work
Put on my favorite Aloha shirt
Grab my steel guitar
Paradise feels like it ain′t that far

I'm dreaming that I'm a guest
At the White Lotus
Way out in the home of the first
Black POTUS
If I had a lot of cash
I′d be lying on a beach of volcanic ash
Trying hard to lose my focus
Wasting time like my name is Otis


Pour me a mai tai
And make it cold
And fix me up another
Tuna poke bowl
I want to get away
From the rain and snow
And relax til the day I get old

A century ago
Hawai′i was a sovereign nation
Then it started filling up with American
Sugar plantations
Once we got a taste
We went right in
And invaded the place
And soon that occupation
Turned into an annexation

Now this country has a habit of
Taking stuff that isn't ours
Then we go and hide it under
Elvis Presley wearing hibiscus flowers
We say we′re the liberators
But the truth is we're the invaders
And you wonder why foreign powers
Would want to go and knock down
The twin towers


Pour me a mai tai
And make it cold
And fix me up another
Tuna poke bowl
I want to get away
From the rain and snow
And relax til the day I get old

Well I hear Hawai′i is a beautiful place
Full of ugly history that
We refuse to face
It was never ours
Well a fact's a fact
Like Peter Garrett said
It′s time to give it back

Pour me some coffee
It's getting cold
I hope I see Hawai'i
Before I get old
But until it′s free
I′m not going to go
I guess I'll just
Have to deal with the snow

Pour me a mai tai
And make it cold
And fix me up another
Tuna poke bowl
I want to get away
From the rain and snow
And relax til the day I get old
