Do we know that life is sweeter when we're taking a chance? Oh, so why do we run, and why do we hide? It's a dangerous life we live, you and I Carousels and wishing wells were the things we loved To fly away in a big balloon was what she talked of, oh ♪ I just got back from the border And what I saw made me know for sure we're out of order I had a dream about New Orleans In Jackson Square, I heard a prayer down to New Orleans On the run, there's a life for livin' But the people there, they just don't care They're livin' their life's like a millionaire down on the border ♪ You'll never see me in old Iran The women there don't know who I am in old Iran And I never will go to Singapore The people there will cut your hair down in Singapore On their streets, there's a life of plenty But they'll never know about the freedom show They're livin' in darkness years ago On the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border Yeah, yeah
