Lyrics
Twenty-thousand dead Now you retire Your shiny, shiny pathos Is on fire
Twenty-thousand bodies Floating on a river O'er water Cryptic slaughter
Presidente Gonzalo It's not fair The IRA ETA and the Red Command
? Three thousand extremes
You should not spit in an old man's beard And tell him it is snowing It is snowing Snowing Snowing Snowing
Twenty-thousand dead Now you retire Your shiny, shiny pathos Is on fire
Twenty-thousand bodies Writing a letter A letter
Hoy lleve pasar de largo Y dime, garganta, escuchen Quiero cantar ya la soledad de mi vía Quiero emborracharme de silencio Pues el estar con usted Es un continúen ti error Donde el ? Y usted yo vamos ?
