Thousands of miles away and I cannot get a jo
Well I'd rather be fighting in Lima 'cause my
back's against the wall There's a broken old
mill town here, and a ratty village there that
seized the lion's den while they were eating
the lion's share

The political prisoners must be let go "Cause
as they wine and dine their way they steal
the food right from your throat Have they ever
been hungry? Have they ever been cold? Heads
of the state held hostage in their own home
You can claim you're Red or Black now
But both get scarred by the whip they crack out
Some are age 14 with a mind and a gun yeah
The most beautiful sight under the sun yeah
And the message won't be lost For the mighty
hours that you fought out there We'll pass and
kick the word along now With the roots and
folklore of this song now
We'll take your message to our streets
