Tell me before I waltz out of your life

Before turning my back on the past

Forgive my impertinent behaviour

But how long do you think this pantomime can last

Tell me before I ride off in the sunset

There's one thing I never got clear

How can you claim you're our saviour

When those who oppose you are stepped on

Or cut up or simply disappear

Tell me before you get onto your bus

Before joining the forgotten brigade

How can one person like me say

Alter the time honoured way the game is played

Tell me before you get onto your high horse

Just what you expect me to do

I don't care what the bourgeoisie say

I'm not in business for them

But to give all my descamisados

a magical moment or two

There is evil ever around

Fundamental system of government

Quite incidental

So what are my chances for honest advances

I'd say low

Better to win by admitting my sin than to lose

with a halo

Tell me before I seek worthier pastures

And thereby restore self esteem

How can you be so short sighted

To look never further than this week or next week

To have no impossible dream

Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines

And mark your adieu with three cheers

But first tell me who'd be delighted

If I said I'd take on the world's greatest problems

From war to pollution no hope of solution

Even if I lived for one hundred years

There is evil ever around

Fundamental system of government

Quite incidental

So go if you're able to somewhere unstable

And stay there

Whip up your hate in some tottering state

But not here dear

Is that clear dear

Oh what I'd give for a hundred years

But the physical interferes

Every day more oh my creator

What is the good of the strongest heart

In a body that's falling apart

A serious flaw I hope you know that
