Текст песни

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 20 of them anyway
What is 20 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 defeatest 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
People of Argentina: 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 worker’s regime
He lives for your problems he shares your ideals and your dream
He supports you for he loves you understands you in one of you
If not how could he love me
People of Argentina: A new Argentina the worker’s 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
People of Argentina: A new Argentina a new age about to begin
A new Argentina we face the world together 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 thos nightmares too
They always take some swallowing
