It’s you Mr. and Mrs. America
It’s you who must answer for your crimes
It’s you who put guns in the hands of
murderers
Are you deaf to the screams of the dying
A peasant village in the once peaceful
mountains
Goes up in flames the children cry out in pain
See their mothers raped and brutally tortured
Nicaragua reaps the Yankee harvest of shame
Don’t cry for Nicaragua
Cry for what we’ve become
A nation of the criminally stupid
Blind to what our government’s done
Don’t cry for Nicaragua
Nicaragua will be free one day
But I shudder when I think of the bloody price
My own country still has to pay
Ronald Reagan smiles as he kills
You shrug and look the other way
He must know what he’s doing you figure
As you hand over hald of your pay
Don’t you care what they do with your money
How many children it murders every day
Aren’t you ashamed of your country
Don’t you understand When I say
Don’t cry for Nicaragua
Cry for what we’ve become
The enemy of freedom and justice
Enforced at the point of a gun
Don’t cry for Nicaragua
Nicaragua will be free one day
But I wonder how long that will still be true
Back here in the USA
