Lyrics

FIDEL



LA REVELOTUTION HAPPENED SO FAST
             I WAS GAMBLING MY DOLLARS AND TIPPING MY GLASS
I LEFT A HOUSE AND A CHEVY BEHIND
4 DOORS OF SWEETNESS NOW CAPSULE OF TIME

I WAS LUCKY STEALING A RIDE OUT ON A BOAT
NO PLACE FOR A GRINGO PASSING U. S. NOTES
JUST 90 MILES AND A WORLD AWAY
BUT I’VE BEEN SEEING YOU AGAIN IN THE NEWS THESE DAYS

FIDEL-FIDEL YOU AIN’T LOOKING SO WELL
IT’S A LITTLE BIT SAD – I’M EMBARRASSED TO TELL
YOU’VE BEEN A THORN IS OUR ASS SINCE THAT OLD MISSILE CRISIS
AND THE ALL TO SHORT KENNEDY REIGN
BUT YOU’RE A RELIC FROM THE COLD WAR WHO HELD HIS GROUND
FROM THE BAY OF PIGS TO THE BULLY WE LIVE WITH NOW
AND IT’S UNLIKELY I’LL EVER STEP AGAIN ON YOUR SOIL
STILL FIDEL YOU AIN’T LOOKING SO WELL

THE BATTLE OF LA PLATA AND LAS MERCEDES SEALED YOUR RISE
YOU DEFEATED 12,000 WITH 300 AND BATISTA LOWERED HIS EYES
AND I PACKED MY BAGS SAID MY GOODBYES
TO THE LADIES WHO LIT UP MY NIGHTS

I GREW UP AND I SETTLED DOWN
JUST TO FIND OUT HOW EASY IT IS TO BE KICKED AROUND
LIKE THE BOAT LOADS YOU’VE SENT US
WHO DID NOT AGREE
AS WE WATCH FROM OUR HOMES
WITH A WAIT AND SEE
