When Anastasio fell he was by then the third Somoza To have had Nicaragua like a kingdom along his blood-line Where the national guard wore the family crest In a family business tied to the west But he was overthrown by those who would share their land with millions Overthrown by those who would be free of the ox's life So it is to our shame the West would aim to cut that freedom down Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? Turn Again! Must Nicaragua turn again!? Because there's a mood today in the USA To be born again Born again!? Must Nicaragua burn again!? The USA begins in a war of independence When liberty stood tall in the constitution But that torch today casts a giant doubt When the senate sends the contras out To hunt them down, hunt them in the clinics and the classrooms To hunt them down, hunt them and destroy the free elections And it is to our shame that the West would aim To cut that freedom down Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again!? Because there's a mood today in the USA To be born again Born again!? Must Nicaragua burn again!? They play Central America Like it's a line of fruit machines They take the beans for the grinder And they meet the bill with bullets and marines
