Lyrics

The youth anti-imperialist tribune was also addressed by a young girl
From nicaragua whose hands had been cut off at the wrists by the former
Samosa guard
Veronica merkoff, of the german federal republic, had this to say:

Aber ich habe eine ausbildung gemacht
Ak industrie kaufmann und... ??

I'm a shop assistant at the... ??
And I must say i'm a shop assistant by profession
But it is difficult for.... ??

Now and then a little thing gets by
Now and then we'll cry

Like a fall in a war, like a mother's open arms
Like a pawn in a game, hard to take
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and pray

All the time we are gone, there's no reason, there's no way
Oh, the soul is the one so they say
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and play

She never thought he'd be this way
Her arms aloft, she holds
But now it's all a memory
And it's gone..
