Lyrics for A New Argentina by Madonna:
| | | Artist: | Madonna |
| | Album: | Evita | | Track: | A New Argentina | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 107 | | | | Lyrics: | Peron:)
Dice are rolling, the knives are out
Would-be presidents are all around
I
don't say they mean harm
But they'd each give an arm
To see us six feet
underground
(Eva:)
It doesn't matter what those morons say
Our nation's
leaders are a feeble crew
There's only twenty of them anyway
What is twenty next to
millions who
Are looking to you?
All you have to do is sit and wait
Keeping out
of everybody's way
We'll ... you'll be handed power on a plate
When the ones who matter
have their say
And with chaos installed
You can reluctantly agree to be
called
(Peron:)
There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're
ahead
For distance lends enchantment, and that is why
All exiles are distinguished, more
important, they're not dead
I could find job satisfaction in
Paraguay
(Eva:)
This is crazy defeatist talk
Why commit political suicide,
there's no risk
There's no call for any action at all
When you have unions on your
side
(Workers:)
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new
Argentina, the voice of the people
Cannot be denied
(Eva:)
There is only
one man who can lead any workers' regime
He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and
your dream
He supports you, for he loves you
Understands you, is one of you
If not,
how could he love me?
(Workers:)
A new Argentina, the workers' battle
song
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Rings out loud and
long
(Eva:)
Now I am a worker, I've suffered the way that you do
I've been
unemployed, and I've starved and I've hated it too
But I found my salvation in Peron, may the
nation
Let him save them as he saved me
(All:)
A new Argentina, a new age
about to begin
A new Argentina, we face the world together
And no dissent
within
(Peron:)
There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're
ahead
I can see us many miles away, inactive
Sipping cocktails on a terrace, taking
breakfast in bed
Sleeping easy, doing nothing, it's attractive
(Eva:)
Don't
think I don't think like you
I often get those nightmares too
They always take some
swallowing
Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum
If it's you that you are
following
Don't close doors, keep an escape clause
Because we might lose the Big
Apple
But would I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't
known
We would take the country
(Eva:)
Peron has resigned from the army and
this we avow
The descamisados are those he is marching with now
He supports you, for he
loves you
Understands you, is one of you
If not, how could he love
me?
(All:)
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new
Argentina, the voice of the people
Cannot be, and must not be
denied
(Che:)
How annoying that they have to fight elections for their
cause
The inconvenience, having to get a majority
If normal methods of persuasion fail to
win them applause
There are other ways of establishing authority
(All:)
A
new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new Argentina, the voice of the
people
Cannot be, and will not be, and must not be denied | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
