Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Jonathan Pryce - A New Argentina lyrics
rate meDice 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 />
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<br />
Who 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 />
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 />
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 />
A new Argentina<br />
The chains of the masses untied<br />
A new Argentina<br />
The voice of the people cannot be denied<br />
<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 />
A new Argentina<br />
The worker's battle song<br />
A new Argentina<br />
The voice of the people rings out loud and long<br />
<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 />
A new Argentina<br />
A new age about to begin<br />
A new Argentina<br />
We face the world together and no dissent within<br />
<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 />
Don't think I don't think like you, 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 />
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 />
A new Argentina<br />
The chains of the masses untied<br />
A new Argentina<br />
The voice of the people cannot be and must not be denied<br />
<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 />
A new Argentina<br />
The chains of the masses untied<br />
A new Argentina<br />
The voice of the people cannot be and will not be and must not be denied
