life may seem perfect in paradise
but don’t drink the agua in managua
when you travel abroad, cheles, be wise
life may seem perfect in paradise
both piety and poverty wear a disguise
tourist trap market maze sells smells of iguana
life may seem perfect in paradise
but don’t drink the agua in managua
