1
Coup d'état in Chile
2
Kissinger's CIA
3
Well-armed gangs of Fascists
4
Augusto Pinochet
5
They took the students from the campus
6
Shot em in a line
7
The bitter fruits of progress
8
Rotting on the vine
9
Victor Jara died a hero
10
In an economic war
11
His fingers crushed and broken
12
He lay singing on the floor
13
I'm sickened by this history
14
My country's bloody hands
15
To market fruit and copper
16
They filled the stadium
17
You know your wife smuggled out your records
18
With a Swedish TV crew
19
Got 'em re-repented in Europe
20
Resurrected you
21
Now there's beautiful social centers
22
That never knew your name
23
That sprouted from the survivors
24
Driven out by Pinochet
25
And your songs are still sung around the world today
26
I've never been to Chile
27
Never smelled the air
28
Never felt the force of history
29
That's buried there
30
But I've heard Violeta Parra's
31
Porque Los Pobres No Tinenen
32
Seen the exiles in La Péna
33
Singing A Desalambrar
34
I don 't wanna be a hero
35
I don't wanna die alone
36
I wanna be a wise man
37
I wanna see how much we grow
38
"What horror fascism creates!
39
They carry out their plans
40
With knife-like precision.
41
Nothing matters to them
42
To them, blood equals medals,
43
Slaughter, an act of heroism.
44
Oh God, is this the world that you made
45
For this your seven days of wonder?"
46
Victor Jara died in Chile
47
But his songs survived
48
He sang the culture of a movement
49
Who's dream is still alive
50
And his songs are still sung around the world today
