Manic Street Preachers - Baby Elian lyrics

Blockades won't win you more votes

A Cuban adjustment act

Offer the world a dream

Dress it up - it's blackmail

Internal matter they say

For two million dollars a day

Maybe a future in film

But Cuban boxers still win

Kidnapped - to the promised land

The Bay Of Pigs

Or baby Elian

Operation - Peter Pan

America

The Devil's playground

Baby Elian

Baby Elian

Across the unfair divide

Where black will never meet white

So read my token lips

As if they never exist

You cannot buy a nation

Not even Miami mob

We follow a shining path

That you will never destroy

Kidnapped - to the promised land

The Bay Of Pigs

Or baby Elian

Operation - Peter Pan

America

The Devil's playground

You don't just sit in a rocking chair

When you've built a revolution

You don't just sit in a rocking chair

When you've built a revolution

Baby Elian

Baby Elian
