A tale told from a native's standpoint of one of the world's holiday destinations - the irony of how the trade they rely on will ultimately lead to their demise (global warming/air travel, etc). The irony is reflected in the upbeat reggae music against the serious lyrical subject.

They All Told Me

(Verse 1)
I can't feel the ground beneath my feet,
I don't know the people that I meet,
They all told me I was wrong;
Saw it coming all along,
I can't feel the ground beneath my feet

(chorus)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh.

(Verse 2)
I can't feel the raindrops burn my eyes,
I can't see the truth behind the lies,
They all told me I was wrong;
Saw it coming all along,
I can't feel the raindrops burn my eyes.

(Rpt chorus)

(Bridge)
Run, run from the storm,
Run, run from the storm.

(Verse 3)
I can't feel the sunlight warm my soul,
River through my veins is running cold,
They all told me I was wrong;
Saw it coming all along,
I can't feel the sunlight warm my soul.

(Rpt chorus)
