| It was the making of Al Capone
|
| And we are down the prohibition road again
|
| History laughing in our faces
|
| Farce and tragedy rolled into one
|
| Can’t we bring some sense to bear?
|
| Can’t we bring some sense to bear on this?
|
| Can’t we bring some sense to bear on this?
|
| Legalise it.
|
| So much money to go around and round
|
| For politicians, policemen, warders and the rest
|
| A head rolls bloody across a disco floor
|
| ‘Plata o plomo', corruption or death
|
| Maria’s full of grace and now something more
|
| Sees the chance to raise her family up
|
| Feeling sick as the plane comes into land
|
| Hope the bag don’t break, pray to your Virgin, trust your luck.
|
| This is no stoner song
|
| Is no hymn to getting wasted
|
| But if something goes so very wrong
|
| Must be time to change it.
|
| Must be time to change it
|
| It was the making of Al Capone
|
| And Joseph Kennedy too I hear
|
| History laughing in our faces
|
| Farce and tragedy rolled into one |
