Song : Spanish civil war song
Oh, say do you remember 25 years ago,
They fought the fascist army, they fought the
fascist foe?
Do you remember franco, hitler’s old ally?
He butchered spain’s democracy,half a million
free men died.
Ai, ai, ai, ai--
Did you wonder why?
Did you ever pause and cry?
And don’t forget the churches and the sad role
that they played:
They crucified their people and worked the
devil’s trade;
But now the wounds are healing with the passing
of time,
So we send them planes and rifles and recognize
their crime.
Ai, ai, ai, ai--
Did you wonder why?
Did you ever pause and cry?
So spend your tourist dollars and turn your heads
away.
Forget about the slaughter, it’s the price we all
must pay,
For now the world’s in struggle, to win we all
must bend:
So dim the light in freedom’s soul: sleep well
tonight, my friend.
Ai, ai, ai, ai--
Did you wonder why?
Did you ever pause and cry?
