Oh, say do you remember 25 years ago, They fought the fascist army, they fought the fascist foe? Do you remember franco, hitlers old ally? He butchered spains democracy,half a million free men died. Ai, ai, ai, ai-- Did you wonder why? Did you ever pause and cry? And dont forget the churches and the sad role that they played: They crucified their people and worked the devils trade; But now the wounds are healing with the passing of time, So we send them planes and rifles and recognize their crime. Ai, ai, ai, ai-- Did you wonder why? Did you ever pause and cry? So spend your tourist dollars and turn your heads away. Forget about the slaughter, its the price we all must pay, For now the worlds in struggle, to win we all must bend: So dim the light in freedoms soul: sleep well tonight, my friend. Ai, ai, ai, ai-- Did you wonder why? Did you ever pause and cry? |
