The Demagogue

Lyrics

At the edge of the world
 Where the factories are
 There's a burning of hatred
 That's crossing the lines
 There's a blue eyed devil man
 Thinks he's king of the world
 He's a bully, a salesman
 Selling fear and hate
 Who do you think you are?
 He plays us with his hate
 Turns man against man
 But it's really not a game
 And I pray to the ancestors' love
 Do not be fooled by this man's foolish talk
 The serpent woke again
 In different times and places
 There's a burning cross
 Leading the mob
 People in chains
 He's a Quak circus act creeping from the past
 He's the symbol of the monster we no longer want to be
 (What we used to be...)
 The earth trembles with these names
 Mussolini, Adolph Hitler, Pinochet
 No respect for woman, no respect for race
 No respect for anything that lives, the human race
 But he can not buy our soul
 No a ese muro
 Voy cortando el odio
 Voy sembrando amor
 No a ese muro
 De la explotación
 Pero es mi casa
 No a ese muro
 La luz de la mañana
 El lugar de mis ancestros
 Las flores del desierto
 No a ese muro
 ♪
 Gonna show that my love
 Is much stronger than hate
 I'm gonna call to the four winds
 I'm gonna change my fate
 I'm gonna rise up singing
 I'm gonna stand for this place
 It's a long time, Mi Gente
 And there's no turning back
 And there's no turning back
 And there's no turning back
