Santiago
As I looked out my window At the clear blue sky At the planes that flew so low At the smoke that rose so high The air filled up with dust That blackened out the sun And the politicians went on About the new day that had begun And when I looked at my calendar Somehow I knew it would be so It was on this day in Santiago Less than thirty years had passed And how clearly I remember What the city had been like Before that day in September There were doctors on the sidewalks Helping those in need Students in the barrios Teaching children how to read There were milk trucks in the shanties Driving to and fro On this day in Santiago I could tell you about the rallies The whole city in the street The President was speaking And we all were on our feet Allende was the future Destitution was the past The city was in motion And things were changing fast Just how fast they were changing Only Kissinger could know On this day in Santiago We'd been striving for a world 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 Without a single cardboard shack Where each woman, man and child Could have the basic things they lack It was socialism by demand Elected free and fair A society without need or greed Where everybody got their share And then came Uncle Sam With dictatorship in tow On this day in Santiago Anaconda Copper And Nixon got their dream A country torn apart Ruptured at the seam A fascist coup was what they wanted And that's just what they'd get When they sent down from Fort Benning General Pinochet Lady Liberty Hung her head down low On this day in Santiago They dropped bombs on La Moneda With jet planes from DC They killed five thousand people In our city by the sea A reign of terror started When they cut off Victor's hands The rivers clogged with bodies And our blood drenched the sands And I remember wondering Which way future winds might blow On this day in Santiago
