Manic Street Preachers
Baby Elian
[Version 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Kidnapped to the promised land
The Bay Of Pigs
Or baby Elian
Operation Peter Pan
America, the Devil's playground
[Chorus]
Baby Elian
Baby Elian
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Kidnapped to the promised land
The Bay Of Pigs
Or baby Elian
Operation Peter Pan
America, the Devil's playground
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Baby Elian
Baby Elian
