All united, all as one, let´s make a stand...
We´ve got a privilege in the power that we command!
So let´s not drown in ignorance,
And let our strenght waste away...
As the richest nation in the world, we´ve got a responsibility!
Vieques, Puerto Rico, a pretectorate -- of the USA.
Part a home for native families, the rest...
A NAVY BOMBING RANGE!!
Shells misfired kill civilians there,
And napalm hangs in the island air.
But the government beats down protests against this misuse...
So...
STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE!!
´Cause if we don´t do it, no one´s going to...
So,
STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE!!
´Cause if we don´t do it, no one´s going to...
I look into the eyes, of a dead island boy´s face.
His (eyes) remind me of another´s,
From a different time and place...
Where A-Bombs baked the ground,
Of Bikini´s tropical lands.
Where a culture was erased,
Families misplaced,
BY A NAZI-ESQUE LIKE PLAN!!!
All done, in your name, by Uncle Sam...
So if we don´t fight it, then we´re guilty to!
So...
STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE!!
´Cause if we don´t do it, no one´s going to...
I think it´s ´bout time that we had a change...
I think it´s ´bout time that WE MAKE A CHANGE!!
We´ve got a privilege in the power that we command!
So let´s not drown in ignorance,
And let our strenght waste away...
As the richest nation in the world, we´ve got a responsibility!
Vieques, Puerto Rico, a pretectorate -- of the USA.
Part a home for native families, the rest...
A NAVY BOMBING RANGE!!
Shells misfired kill civilians there,
And napalm hangs in the island air.
But the government beats down protests against this misuse...
