Norway and Saudi Arabia both won the lottery
With one lucky strike they were lifted up, out of poverty
One said whoa! Come on let's go
This is our chance we're going to take it
Built cities out of sand, turn the seas into the land
This is how we're going to make it
And we'll live it up fast, while the good times last
No one's going to stop me baby
Norway and Saudi Arabia both won the lottery
With one lucky strike they were lifted up, out of poverty
The other said no, put it away
Save it up for a rainy day
Keep the day job, put it in savings
Don't give in to carnal cravings
Cos you never know, and history shows
Sometimes it's best not to grow
Bright nights
Big city lights
Or the countryside
And the quiet life
Fast living
Or selfless giving
Different ends
From the same beginnings
