1
With a pack on my back
2
I watch the kids stack
3
freshly picked coffee in sixty pound stacks
4
just to make a little money to take back to their shacks
5
Since the day they were born they've been under attack
6
With flies in her eyes she looks to the skies
7
where Jesus is waiting for her when she dies,
8
or is that just the bossman wearing a disguise
9
She better muffle her cries if she wants to see paradise
10
What goes around comes back again
11
Tell me who's really winning in the end my friend
12
and the sound of Guatemalan rain beats on our rooftops to the same refrain
13
Boss finds his way here maybe two times a year
14
and he swims in his pool and he drinks his German beer
15
And he tells all the families they've got nothing to fear,
16
even though he knows he's selling the finca next year
17
And the tourists will come and they'll drink the cheap rum
18
and sing song about the mountains and they'll soak up the sun
19
They won't think too hard about the men with their guns
20
And when the night falls to our hotels they'll run
21
What goes around comes back again
22
Tell me who's really winning in the end my friend
23
and the sound of Guatemalan rain beats on our rooftops to the same refrain
24
With muscles of rust he rides home on the bus
25
and remembers a day when his land was more just
26
Before the green money came well it howled and it cussed
27
and you can't sing a song with your mouth full of dust
28
What goes around comes back again
29
Tell me who's really winning in the end my friend
30
and the sound of Guatemalan rain beats on our rooftops to the same refrain
