Che: Forgive my impertinent behaviour
Che: But how long do you think this pantomime can last
Che: Tell me before I ride off in the sunset
Che: There's one thing I never got clear
Che: How can you claim you're our saviour
Che: When those who oppose you are stepped on
Che: Or cut up or simply disappear
Eva: Tell me before you get onto your bus
Eva: Before joining the forgotten brigade

Eva: Alter the time-honoured way the game is played
Eva: Tell me before you get onto your high horse
Eva: Just what you expect me to do

Eva: But to give all my descamisados a magical moment or two

Eva/Che: Quite incidental
Eva: So go if you're able to somewhere unstable
Eva: And stay there
Eva: Whip up your hate in some tottering state
Eva: But not here dear

Eva: But the physical interferes
Eva: Every day more oh my creator

Eva: A serious flaw I hope you know that
