Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

15. Baby Elian

Blockades won't win you more votes 
A Cuban adjustment act 
Offer the world a dream 
Dress it up - it's blackmail 

Internal matter they say 
For two million dollars a day 
Maybe a future in film 
But Cuban boxers still win 

Kidnapped - to the promised land 
The Bay Of Pigs 
Or baby Elian 
Operation - Peter Pan
America 
The Devil's playground 

Baby Elian 
Baby Elian 

Across the unfair divide 
Where black will never meet white 
So read my token lips 
As if they never exist 

You cannot buy a nation 
Not even Miami mob 
We follow a shining path 
That you will never destroy 

Kidnapped - to the promised land 
The Bay Of Pigs 
Or baby Elian 
Operation - Peter Pan 
America 
The Devil's playground 

You don't just sit in a rocking chair 
When you've built a revolution 
You don't just sit in a rocking chair 
When you've built a revolution 

Baby Elian 
Baby Elian
