[Verse]
EOh! Mama, Mama look there!
Your chEildren are playing in that street again
DEon't you know what happened down there?
A yEouth of fourteen got shot down there
The KEokane guns of Jamdown Town
The kEilling clowns, the blood money men
Are shBooting thAose BWashington bEullets again
[Verse]
As eEvery cell in Chile will tell
The crEies of the tortured men
RemEember Allende, and the days before,
BefEore the army came
PlEease remember Victor Jara,
EIn the Santiago Stadium,
BEs verdAad, Bthose Washington BEullets again
[Verse]
And in the BEay of Pigs in 1961,
HavEana fought the playboy in the Cuban sun,
For CEastro is a color,
Is a rEedder than red,
Those WEashington bullets want Castro dead
For CBastro is the cAolor...B  
...That will earn you a spEray of lead
[Chorus]

BSandinAistBa!E  
[Verse]
EFor the very first time ever,
When they hEad a revolution in Nicaragua,
There wEas no interference from America
HEuman rights in America
The pEeople fought the leader,
And uEp he flew...
With no WEashington bullets what else could he do?
BSandinAistBa!E  
[Verse]
And if you cEan find a Afghan rebel
That the MEoscow bullets missed
Ask him what he thEinks of voting Communist...
...EAsk the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet,
HEow many monks did the Chinese get?
In a wEar-torn swamp stop any mercenary,
And chEeck the British bullets in his armory
BSandinAistBa!  EQué?

[Verse]

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

B A B E

Are shooting those Washington bullets again

[Verse]

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 Victor Jara,

In the Santiago Stadium,

B A B E

Es verdad, those Washington Bullets again

[Verse]

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

B A B

For Castro is the color...

...That will earn you a spray of lead

[Chorus]

(...instrumental...)

B A B E

Sandinista!

[Verse]

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?

B A B E

Sandinista!

[Verse]

And 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,

And check the British bullets in his armory

B A B E

Sandinista! Qué?

[Chorus]

(...instrumental...)

B A B E

Sandinista!
