lyrics

Today i saw Evo Morales
sleeping under the stairs
Don't it remind you of someone
you may have heard of somewhere?

Oh yeah,
his name was Salvadore Allende
he was friend of the poor
but mean old hairy Kissinger
came knocking on the door

Castro was down in Chile
when he gave Salvadore his AK
he said "Salvy I don't want to scare you
but you may have to use this someday."
I swear "You may have to use this someday."

Meanwhile back in Washington
Nixon was dubbing cassettes
he said "Henry we need that copper
tell Augusto he's next"

Enter Augusto Pinochet:
Chile's own Son of Sam
who starved a million children
with his social plans

and all his daughters wore gold and ivory
while the people starved
then they took their kitchen scraps
and threw them into the yard
oh yeah they threw it over the yard.

Salvadore died on a Tuesday
holding Castro's AK
just like Pablo Neruda
he was killed by Pinochet

Yes just like Pablo Neruda
he was killed by Pinochet

So when I see Evo Morales
flying on a Mexican plane
i think he'd be better off with a rocket ship
floating into space.
