The Demagogue
At the edge of the world
Where the factories are
There's a burning of hatred
That's crossing the lines
There's a blue eyed devil man
Thinks he's king of the world
He's a bully, a salesman
Selling fear and hate
Who do you think you are?
He plays us with his hate
Turns man against man
But it's really not a game
And I pray to the ancestors' love
Do not be fooled by this man's foolish talk
The serpent woke again
In different times and places
There's a burning cross leading the mob
People in chains he's a Quak circus act
Creeping from the past
He's the symbol of the monster we
No longer want to be (what we used to be)
The earth trembles with these names
Mussolini, Adolph Hitler, Pinochet
No respect for woman, no respect for race
No respect for anything that lives
The human race but he cannot buy our soul
NO A ESE MURO voy cortando el odio
Voy sembrando amor
NO A ESE MURO de la explotación
Pero es mi casa
NO A ESE MURO la luz de la mañana
El lugar de mis ancestros
Las flores del desierto
NO A ESE MURO gonna show that my love
Is much stronger than hate
I'm gonna call to the four winds
I'm gonna change my fate
I'm gonna rise up singing
I'm gonna stand for this place
It's a long time, Mi Gente
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
