lyrics

He´s the joker in the pack
Taking names and breaking backs
And you thought he was an ordinary jack

Pissing into the eternal spring
On the end of a short string
Ordering, murdering, while worshipping

Sucking up to The Gringo
Standing up for the status quo
The people in dissent have got to go

Unhappy here? Then just migrate
Be a dreamer in the States
Where your body is free real estate

No? You´d rather take your chances here
And live a life of constant fear
Say too much and you might disappear

A bag of bones in an unmarked grave
Like the fighters like the brave
The ones that refused to be enslaved

Dignify, you cannot deny
Recovery of history
Memory from community
Fights immunity
Beats impunity

The truth will out x 2

Ni olvido ni perdón
Is the never-ending song
Of people who have waited way too long
To see the kings who pull the strings
Set to rights by their play things
Overthrown by the eternal spring

Time never worried you at all
Now your back´s against the wall
The joker´s curtain call
