Lyric sheet excerpts:

Lima 1985 - no surprise
the pope blessed those who oppress
should go and confess
admit he's siding with those who suppress
scolding those who carry the load
telling them not to be bold
to bless to say yes to the forces who repress
people's reply - we are not fickle
against the night sky blazed the hammer and sickle
on the hill high and it was not little
rulers realize they're in a pickle
some people got up tight but Sinead she got it right when she saw red
tore the pope into shreds full stream ahead

Yankee Go Home

Peru the next Vietnam
Cos "war on drugs" is a sham
"War on drugs" hit us here
and our sisters and brothers there
the US lie, their alibi
their supposed reason why
they are on the revolutions case
setting up another green beret base
and meanwhile on the western wireless
silenceio on US and Fujimori violence
