Lyrics
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Blockades won't win you more votes
A cuban adjustment act
Offer the world a dream
Dress it up - it's blackmail
Internal matter they say
For two million dollars a day
Maybe a future in film
But cuban boxers still win
Kidnapped - to the promised land
The bay of pigs
Or baby elian
Operation - peter pan
America
The devil's playground
Baby elian
Baby elian
Across the unfair divide
Where black will never meet white
So read my token lips
As if they never exist
You cannot buy a nation
Not even the miami mob
We follow a shining path
That you will never destroy
Kidnapped - to the promised land
The bay of pigs
Or baby elian
Operation - peter pan
America
The devil's playground
You don't just sit in a rocking chair
When you've built a revolution
You don't just sit in a rocking chair
When you've built a revolution
Baby elian
Baby elian
