about

originally from the album Gone to Bolivia

lyrics

Revolution is blood and sorrow Revolution is tears and morals The children of Ernesto
‘Che’ Guevara Are tired of his image offered up like soda
Democracy does not correct itself Its peoples guts and sweat and shells Doing things
ethical and obscene Right and wrong and in between
Blindness is handiest in a dark tunnel Paper and a number two cone in a funnel A blend
of ideologies and personal experience Roasted and filtered and sold to friends
Money doesn’t make you a moral authority It’ll get you propaganda and publicity you
might not get to fudge a whole war but you can fool the population for a few years more
anything can start out with a good intention Any Enemy could’ve been your friend Any
path can lead any number of ways Nobody’s hands are clean these days
I’d like to have a holiday in Cuba Lie on the beach, drink Rum and try Scuba The
children of Ernesto Che Guevara Probably Wish there daddy’d never gone to Bolivia
