3:08:33
Tell me before I waltz out of your life
3:08:36
Before turning my back on the past
3:08:39
Forgive my impertinent behaviour
3:08:42
But how long do you think
This pantomime can last?
3:08:46
Tell me before I ride off in the sunset
3:08:49
There's one thing I never got clear
3:08:53
How can you claim you're our saviour
3:08:56
When those who oppose you
Are stepped on or cut up
3:09:00
Or simply disappear?
3:09:02
Tell me before you get onto your bus
3:09:05
Before joining the forgotten brigade
3:09:09
How can one person like me, say
3:09:12
Alter the time-honoured way
the game is played?
3:09:15
Tell me before you get
onto your high horse
3:09:19
Just what you expect me to do
3:09:22
I don't care what the bourgeoisie say
3:09:26
I'm not in business for them
3:09:28
But to give all my descamisados
3:09:31
A magical moment or two
3:09:34
There is evil
3:09:36
Ever around, fundamental
3:09:39
System of government quite incidental
3:09:43
So what are my chances
of honest advances?
3:09:47
I'd say low
3:09:48
Better to win by admitting my sin
3:09:50
Than to lose with a halo
3:09:54
Tell me before I seek worthier pastures
3:09:57
And thereby restore self-esteem
