Washington Bullets Part II
I want the right
To feed my children
And I'll fight so I can give them
A life in dignity
A better life
Than mine could ever be
I want to live
Where I was born
I know my right from wrong
You can watch me
Growing stronger
As the fight keeps going on
I demand a life worth living
And I'll give what I've been given
I want the truth, the whole truth
And nothing but the truth
The whole truth
To see you defend this hypocrisy
In the name of a right wing fascist "Democracy"
It's way better to be called a commie than a fascist
Washington's caught again playing with matches
They keep on giving that kiss of life to the pigs in El Salvador
Walk straight
Look straight
Talk straight
(Or even better
Don't talk at all)
Hide your anger
Hide your tears
Hide your fear
(In El Salvador)
Shut your ears
Close your eyes
Live your "life"
(Or else you won't live at all)
I want the right to feed my children
And I'll fight so I can give them a life in dignity
A better life than mine could ever be
You can torture
You can kill me
But the fight goes on
I'll never disappear
When you have your nightmares
I'll be there
Walk straight
Look straight
Talk straight
(Or even better
Don't talk at all)
Hide your anger
Hide your tears
Hide your fear
(In El Salvador)
Shut your ears
Close your eyes
Live your "life"
(Or else you won't live at all)
The life they let you live
So monitored and so controlled
In a land with no respect for human rights
No respect for human life
What can you do
When your wife is in a prison, dying?
What can you say
When your little daughter's crying
"Daddy, when is mommy coming home?"
Is mommy coming home tonight?
How can you say it's gonna be alright
When you can't hold your tears?
(But they can't stop the children of the revolution)
