When I first saw that The Manics had written a song about Elian Gonzalez I thought it was a bit... pretentious to be honest. But then I actually heard the song and that shut me up. Hope you enjoy it as well!
These are the lyrics:
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 2 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 devils playground
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 devils playground
You don't just sit in a rocking chair
When you've build a revolution
You don't just sit in a rocking chair
When you've build a revolution
Baby Elian
Baby Elian
