A New Argentina |
| Peron: Dice are rolling the knives are out |
| Would be presidents are all around |
| I don’t say they mean harm but they’d each give an arm |
| To see us six feet underground |
| Eva: It doesn’t matter what those morons say |
| Our nation’s leaders are a feeble crew |
| There’s only 20 of them anyway |
| What is 20 next to millions who are looking to you |
| All you have to do is sit and wait |
| Keeping out of everybody’s way |
| We’ll-you'll be handed power on a plate |
| When the ones who matter have their say |
| And with chaos installed |
| You can reluctantly agree to be called |
| Peron: There again we could be foolish not to quit while we’re ahead |
| For distance lends enchantment and that is why |
| All exiles are distinguished more important they’re not dead |
| I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay |
| Eva: This is crazy defeatest talk |
| Why commit political suicide |
| There’s no risk there’s no call for any action at all |
| When you have unions on your side |
| People of Argentina: A new Argentina the chains of the masses untied |
| A new Argentina the voice of the people cannot be denied |
| Eva: There is only one man who can lead any worker’s regime |
| He lives for your problems he shares your ideals and your dream |
| He supports you for he loves you understands you in one of you |
| If not how could he love me |
| People of Argentina: A new Argentina the worker’s battle song |
| A new Argentina the voice of the people rings out loud and long |
| Eva: Now I am a worker I’ve suffered the way that you do |
| I’ve been unemployed and I’ve starved and I’ve hated it too |
| But I found my salvation in Peron may the nation |
| Let him save them as he saved me |
| People of Argentina: A new Argentina a new age about to begin |
| A new Argentina we face the world together no dissent within |
| Peron: There again we could be foolish not to quit while we’re ahead |
| I can see us many miles away inactive |
| Sipping cocktails on a terrace taking breakfast in bed |
| Sleeping easy doing nothing it’s attractive |
| Eva: Don’t think I don’t think like you |
| I often get thos nightmares too |
| They always take some swallowing |
