Waltz For Eva And Che

Ché: 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
 Eva: 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
 Eva & Ché: There is evil, ever around
 Fundamental system of government
 Quite incidental
 Eva: 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
 Ché: 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
 Eva: 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
 Eva & Ché: There is evil, ever around
 Fundamental system of government
 Quite incidental
 Eva: 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?
 ♪
 Eva: 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
