lyrics

With the first notes of this very tune
And with the first words of my utterance
Someone somewhere takes his last trip to nowhere
Anyone anywhere gives his last words to no one
I spit on the Grim Reaper’s
And on its human substitutes
My heart is with oppression, poverty and misery

And there’s nothing I can do except lift my glass
To the ones I’ll never know
Cheer their new-born ghosts
With words they’ve never heard

The years have now gone by
And the beers have all been drained
Good thoughts were in my glass
Now the gutter’s full of words…
I cry on the baffled rights
On the jails of Argentina
On the slums of Mexico
On the ghettoes of Africa…
I’ve drunk for the people fighting
For their rights in Santiago
For their freedom in China
For their children in Asia…
