Burn Again - Latin Quarter

When Anastasio fell he was by then the third Somoza

To have had Nicaragua like a kingdom along his blood-line

Where the national guard wore the family crest

In a family business tied to the west

But he was overthrown by those who would share their land with millions

Overthrown by those who would be free of the ox’s life

So it is to our shame the West would aim to cut that freedom down

Burn Again!

Must Nicaragua burn again?!

Turn Again!

Must Nicaragua turn again?!

Because there’s a mood today in the USA

To be born again

Born again?!

Must Nicaragua burn again?!

The USA begins in a war of independence

When liberty stood tall in the constitution

But that torch today casts a giant doubt

When the senate sends the contras out

To hunt them down, hunt them in the clinics and the classrooms

To hunt them down, hunt them and destroy the free elections

And it is to our shame that the West would aim

To cut that freedom down

Burn Again!

Must Nicaragua burn again?!

Burn Again!

Must Nicaragua burn again?!

Because there’s a mood today in the USA

To be born again

Born again?!

Must Nicaragua burn again?!

They play Central America

Like it’s a line of fruit machines

They take the beans for the grinder

And they meet the bill with bullets and marines
