Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? 
Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!?

When Anastasio fell he was by then the first Somoza 
To have had Nicaragua like a kingdom along his blood-
line 
Where the national guard wore the family crest 
In a family business tied to the west 
But he was overthrown by those who would share their 
land with millions 
Overthrown by those who would be free of the ox's life 
But to our shame the west would aim to cut that freedom 
down 

Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? 
Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? 
Because the USA's got the need to-day 
To be born again 

The USA begins in a war of independence 
When liberty stood tall in the constitution 
But that torch today casts a giant doubt 
When the senate sends the contras out 
To hunt them down, hunt them and destroy the free 
elections 
And it is to our shame the west would aim 
To cut that freedom down 

Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? 
Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? 
Because the USA's got the need to-day 
To be born again 
Born again!? Must Nicaragua burn again!? 

They play Central America 
Like a line of fruit machines 
They take the beans for the grinder 
And they meet the bill with bullets and marine
