Evita vol. 1 movie - A New Argentina lyrics
rate meSong by Madonna, Jonathan Pryce, and Antonio Banderas<br /><br>
[Peron:]<br>
Dice are rolling, the knives are out<br>
Would-be presidents are all around<br>
I don't say they mean harm<br>
But they'd each give an arm<br>
To see us six feet underground<br>
<br>
[Eva:]<br>
It doesn't matter what those morons say<br>
Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew<br>
There's only twenty of them anyway<br>
What is twenty next to millions who<br>
Are looking to you?<br>
<br>
All you have to do is sit and wait<br>
Keeping out of everybody's way<br>
We'll ... you'll be handed power on a plate<br>
When the ones who matter have their say<br>
And with chaos installed<br>
You can reluctantly agree to be called<br>
<br>
[Peron:]<br>
There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead<br>
For distance lends enchantment, and that is why<br>
All exiles are distinguished, more important, they're not dead<br>
I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay<br>
<br>
[Eva:]<br>
This is crazy defeatist talk<br>
Why commit political suicide, there's no risk<br>
There's no call for any action at all<br>
When you have unions on your side<br>
<br>
[Workers:]<br>
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied<br>
A new Argentina, the voice of the people<br>
Cannot be denied<br>
<br>
[Eva:]<br>
There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime<br>
He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dream<br>
He supports you, for he loves you<br>
Understands you, is one of you<br>
If not, how could he love me?<br>
<br>
[Workers:]<br>
A new Argentina, the workers' battle song<br>
A new Argentina, the voice of the people<br>
Rings out loud and long<br>
<br>
[Eva:]<br>
Now I am a worker, I've suffered the way that you do<br>
I've been unemployed, and I've starved and I've hated it too<br>
But I found my salvation in Peron, may the nation<br>
Let him save them as he saved me<br>
<br>
[All:]<br>
A new Argentina, a new age about to begin<br>
A new Argentina, we face the world together<br>
And no dissent within<br>
<br>
[Peron:]<br>
There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead<br>
I can see us many miles away, inactive<br>
Sipping cocktails on a terrace, taking breakfast in bed<br>
Sleeping easy, doing nothing, it's attractive<br>
<br>
[Eva:]<br>
Don't think I don't think like you<br>
I often get those nightmares too<br>
They always take some swallowing<br>
Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum<br>
If it's you that you are following<br>
Don't close doors, keep an escape clause<br>
Because we might lose the Big Apple<br>
<br>
But would I have done what I did<br>
If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known<br>
We would take the country<br>
<br>
[Eva:]<br>
Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow<br>
The descamisados are those he is marching with now<br>
He supports you, for he loves you<br>
Understands you, is one of you<br>
If not, how could he love me?<br>
<br>
[All:]<br>
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied<br>
A new Argentina, the voice of the people<br>
Cannot be, and must not be denied<br>
<br>
[Che:]<br>
How annoying that they have to fight elections for their cause<br>
The inconvenience, having to get a majority<br>
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win them applause<br>
There are other ways of establishing authority<br>
<br>
[All:]<br>
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied<br>
A new Argentina, the voice of the people<br>
Cannot be, and will not be, and must not be denied.<br>
<br>
