1.Aguila Del Norte
Did anybody see them ？
I heard there was a baby
Somebody heard her crying
Weaker through the night
They beat her mama bloody
And shot her with her daddy
It was the terror from above
El aguila del norte
Down in nicaragua
Running from the shadows
Striking holy terror
Deeper in the heart
You believe in freedom
And you believe in justice
But not in nicaragua
Not in nicaragua
Aguila del norte
We can see your power
And the beauty of your freedom
What is in your heart ？
You believe in honor
And you believe in jesus
But not in nicaragua
Not in nicaragua
2.Don't Let The Bastards(Get You Down)
They're killing babies in the name of freedom
We've been down that sorry road before
They let us hang around a little longer than they should have
And it's too late to fool us anymore
We've seen the ones who killed the ones with vision
Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns
It's getting hard to listen to their lies.
Chorus：
And i've just got to wonder what my daddy would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
Don't let the bastards get you down
Mining roads
Killing farmers
Burning down schools full of children
Fighting communism
Chorus：
And i've just got to wonder what my daddy would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
Don't let the bastards get you down
3.Jesse Jackson
He was walking with your brother on the streets of alabama
He was marching next to martin when he died
Working face to face in cuba and managua nicaragua
He did not yet beat the devil, but he tried
Chorus：
Hold on brother, jesse jackson
There's a better world a'coming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They ain't ready for it yet, but it's a start
And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart
We must bring it all together we must start right from the
bottom
Back to helping one another when we can
'cause if he's hungry and he's human and he's fighting for his
freedom
Then he shouldn't be too hard to understand
Chorus：
Hold on brother, jesse jackson
There's a better world a'coming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They ain't ready for you yet, but it's a start
And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart
Chorus：
Hold on brother, jesse jackson
There's a better world a'coming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They ain't ready for you yet, but it's a start
And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart
4.Love Of Money
Chorus：
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the work of the devil
Love of money
She began running for the border and her life
Like the wind, straight into the terror of the night
And she survived, bargaining her body for their gold
In the end all she had to sell them was her soul
That's the way it goes
Chorus：
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the work of the devil
Love of money
We began reaching for the future like a dream
In a land where everything was free
Wordly men turned their profits into war
No one knows who we're really fighting for
Chorus：
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the work of the devil
Love of money
Chorus：
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the work of the devil
Love of money
5.Mal Sacate
Mr. money man, i know you've had your way
And i know the way you're winning
And that bloody hand you're holding
Ain't no bargain at the price you had to pay
You have stolen all the land that you can steal
And you killed so many heroes
But the dreams they left behind them
Ain't as easy as a man to blow away
Chorus：
And they say, 'el mal sacate ni el fuego lo quema'
And los mexicanos dicen, 'cosa mala nunca muere'
Don't you know ？
The fire don't burn a bad weed boy
And a bad thing never dies
Like the bad weeds growing wild around
The broken wounded body of el salvador
They killed so many heroes
Like zapata (presente!) and fonseca (presente!)
And sandino (presente!) and guevarra (presente!)
And allende (presente!) and aquino (presente!)
And steve biko (presente!)
But they can never kill the human spirit
Not in nicaragua !
Chorus：
And they say, 'el mal sacate ni el fuego lo quema'
And los mexicanos dicen, 'cosa mala nunca muere'
Don't you know ？
Aiiiiiaiiiaiiiiii nicaragua !
Aiiiiiaiiiaiiiiii sandinista !
6.Sandinista
Sandinista, you can hold your head up high
You have given back their freedom
You have lived up to your name
Sandinista, may your spirit never die
Hold the candle to the darkness
You're the keeper of the flame
Sandinista, keep believing in the dream
The truth is stronger than the shadows
Keep it shining in your eyes
Sandinista, may the soldiers disappear
May your children live forever
May their laughter fill your lives
Sandinista, los fuerzas de la oscuridad
Nunca pueden extinguir la puridad de tu llama revolutionara
Con su terror y sus mentiras
Con su dinero y sys maquinas
La libertad en tus ojus
El amor caliente en tu corozon
Son fuerzas mas poderosas
Que las armas de la guerra
Sandinista, you can hold your head up high
You have given back their freedom
You have lived up to your name
Sandinista, may your spirit never die
Hold the candle to the darkness
You're the keeper of the flame
7.The Eagle And The Bear
I will fight and i will die for freedom
Up against an eagle or a bear
And i will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together
And if you don't like it mister i don't care
'cause i have served with honor in the army
I have seen a soldier overseas
I have seen my fatherland stagger like a dying man
Blinded and bewildered by disease
And i ain't gonna take it any longer
I can't look around it anymore
I'll defend what i believe in a land of liberty
Like my father did before
Chorus：
And i'll just pray to god for nicaragua
And the sorrow of el salvador today
And i'll say until the day we free mandela
All the world will be in chains
8.The Hero
Don't you like to see the hero take his licks like a man
Stand up and be tested and be true ？
Would you like to be a hero in your life ？ well you can
Did you know it's up to you ？
Would you trade your place with jesus on the cross if you could
Shining through eternity ？
Would it bother you to know that you can be just as good
As you really want to be ？
And if you're bound to do your duty then it's time that you do
Look your future in the face
For the most important person in the world, which is you,
Or the whole damn human race
Chorus：
There's a holy band of angels flying high through the night
Where no mortal ever trod
Singing holy, holy, holy, holy, oh, jesus christ
Is the lord almighty god
You see, the good thing is you don't have to be as good as jesus
to
Start out with
All you gotta do ask yourself, how would gary cooper have done
it
Or john kennedy
Or martin luther king
Or malcom x ？
Chorus：
There's a holy band of angels flying high through the night
Where no mortal ever trod
Singing holy, holy, holy, holy, oh, jesus christ
Is the lord almighty god
9.Third World War
Where the young men's brave new visions threaten old men's
selfish
Dreams
And they try to crush the spirit with their money and machines
And they call it communism because they don't know what it means
In the third world war
And the rich keep getting richer and as wrong as they are right
And the poor become the victims of the armies of the night
And the odds are never even and their skins are never white
In the third world war
Broken rules and dirty warriors spreading lies and secret funds
Can't defeat the campesino with their money and their guns
'cause he's fighting for his future and his freedom and his sons
In the third world war
10.Third World Warrior
Chorus：
You can't defeat him - he's fighting for freedom
That's all he wanted - that's all he needs
You'll never beat him with weapons and money
There ain't no chain as strong as the will to be free
Maybe his colors are driving you crazy
Call him a commie - maybe it's true
Lure him away from his home with your money
Give him the work that you don't want to do
Chorus：
You can't defeat him - he's fighting for freedom
That's all he wanted - that's all he needs
You'll never beat him with weapons and money
There ain't no chain as strong as the will to be free
See how we honor the struggle for freedom
They needed vision - we gave'em war
See who is patiently watching in silence
The crucification of el salvador
Chorus：
You can't defeat him - he's fighting for freedom
That's all he wanted - that's all he needs
You'll never beat him with weapons and money
There ain't no chain as strong as the will to be free
