Its you Mr. and Mrs. America Its you who must answer for your crimes Its you who put guns in the hands of murderers Are you deaf to the screams of the dying A peasant village in the once peaceful mountains Goes up in flames the children cry out in pain See their mothers raped and brutally tortured Nicaragua reaps the Yankee harvest of shame Dont cry for Nicaragua Cry for what weve become A nation of the criminally stupid Blind to what our governments done Dont cry for Nicaragua Nicaragua will be free one day But I shudder when I think of the bloody price My own country still has to pay Ronald Reagan smiles as he kills You shrug and look the other way He must know what hes doing you figure As you hand over hald of your pay Dont you care what they do with your money How many children it murders every day Arent you ashamed of your country Dont you understand When I say Dont cry for Nicaragua Cry for what weve become The enemy of freedom and justice Enforced at the point of a gun Dont cry for Nicaragua Nicaragua will be free one day But I wonder how long that will still be true Back here in the USA |
