[Verse]
E
Oh! Mama, Mama look there!
E
Your children are playing in that street again
E
Don't you know what happened down there?
E
A youth of fourteen got shot down there
E
The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town
E
The killing clowns, the blood money men
B A B E
Are shooting those Washington bullets again
[Verse]
E
As every cell in Chile will tell
E
The cries of the tortured men
E
Remember Allende, and the days before,
E
Before the army came
E
Please remember Victor Jara,
E
In the Santiago Stadium,
B A B E
Es verdad, those Washington Bullets again
[Verse]
E
And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961,
E
Havana fought the playboy in the Cuban sun,
E
For Castro is a color,
E
Is a redder than red,
E
Those Washington bullets want Castro dead
B A B
For Castro is the color...
E
...That will earn you a spray of lead
[Chorus]
E
(...instrumental...)
B A B E
Sandinista!
[Verse]
E
For the very first time ever,
E
When they had a revolution in Nicaragua,
E
There was no interference from America
E
Human rights in America
E
The people fought the leader,
E
And up he flew...
E
With no Washington bullets what else could he do?
B A B E
Sandinista!
[Verse]
E
And if you can find a Afghan rebel
E
That the Moscow bullets missed
E
Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist...
E
...Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet,
E
How many monks did the Chinese get?
E
In a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary,
E
And check the British bullets in his armory
B A B E
Sandinista! Qué?
[Chorus]
E
(...instrumental...)
B A B E
Sandinista!
