- Borneo Lyrics / with translationsWell I ain't gonna live in your world no more
(Hey, Borneo)
Yeah feeling like a funky two-bit whore
(Here I come, Borneo)
Got a monkey for a president
(Hey, Borneo)
And a head all filled up with cement
(Look out, Borneo)
So I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm getting out of here
Yeah I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm counting, 1! (2!) 3! (4!)
I can't take a minute more
I'm gonna swing like an ape from a banyan tree
(Hey, Borneo)
I'm gonna live me a life of luxury
(Here I come, Borneo)
Or get drunk, untidy, and sleep all day
(Hey, Borneo)
Unti your world is washed away
(Look out, Borneo)
Said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm getting out of here
Said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm counting, 4! (3!) 2! (1!)
Set a course for the rising sun
I said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm getting out of here
Said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm counting, 10! (9!) 8! (7!)
Monkey's gonna go to heaven
I'm gonna set my sails for the virgin soil
(Hey, Borneo)
You know I don't wanna die for the price of oil
(Here I come, Borneo)
I wanna watch the sun set every night
(Hey, Borneo)
I'm gonna fall alseep in the cool moonlight
(Look out, Borneo
So I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm getting out of here
Said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm counting, 5! (6!) 7! (8!)
See you at the pearly gates
(Hey, Borneo)
Yeah feeling like a funky two-bit whore
(Here I come, Borneo)
Got a monkey for a president
(Hey, Borneo)
And a head all filled up with cement
(Look out, Borneo)
So I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm getting out of here
Yeah I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm counting, 1! (2!) 3! (4!)
I can't take a minute more
I'm gonna swing like an ape from a banyan tree
(Hey, Borneo)
I'm gonna live me a life of luxury
(Here I come, Borneo)
Or get drunk, untidy, and sleep all day
(Hey, Borneo)
Unti your world is washed away
(Look out, Borneo)
Said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm getting out of here
I'm counting, 4! (3!) 2! (1!)

I said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm getting out of here
Said I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm counting, 10! (9!) 8! (7!)
Monkey's gonna go to heaven
I'm gonna set my sails for the virgin soil

The Borneo lyrics mainly focus on themes of freedom and empowerment and adventure and hope and natural elements.
