Washington Bullets

Oh, Mama, Mama look there

Your children are playing in that street again

Don't you know what happened down there?

A youth of fourteen got shot down there

The Kokane guns of Jamdown town

The killing clowns, the blood money men

Are shooting those Washington bullets again

As every cell in Chile will tell

The cries of the tortured men

Remember Allende and the days before

Before the army came

Please remember Víctor Jara in the Santiago stadium

Es verdad, those Washington bullets again

And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961

Havana fought the playboy in the Cuban sun

For Castro is a color is a redder than red

Those Washington bullets want Castro dead

For Castro is the color

That will earn you a spray of lead

Sandinista

For the very first time ever

When they had a revolution in Nicaragua

There was no interference from America

Human rights in America

The people fought the leader and up he flew

With no Washington bullets what else could he do?

Sandinista

An' if you can find a Afghan rebel

That the Moscow bullets missed

Ask him what he thinks of voting communist

Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet

How many monks did the Chinese get?

In a war torn swamp stop any mercenary

An' check the British bullets in his armory

Sandinista

¿Qué?

Sandinista

Sandinista
