We're climbing to the top of that mountain, boys Just because it's there Then we're jumping off the edge of the Western world Just because we've been dared Then we're digging a hole deep in the ground Oil, gold, Chinatown Then the party's starting when the sun goes down On the other side of the world The people in England are standing in line Queuing up to see the Queen Between the Royal Weddings and the kids on the dole The sun sets comfortably And back in the States it's we three kings Of greed, guns and gasoline And a racial chase through Georgia streets On the other side of the world So around and around and around we go We are here, that's the law I know We might as well like it, that's the gospel On the other side of the world There's young people falling in love There's young people falling in love There's young people falling in love There's young people falling in love Everywhere I go Hope hides behind those angry eyes Denim collars against the cold I got a letter today from Tokyo A little Japanese girl that I'll never know She's eating pizza and singing Let My People Go On the other side of the world
