(Che:) Tell me before I
waltz out of your life Before turning my back on the past Forgive my
impertinent behavior 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 savior 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-honored 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
(Che
and Eva:) There is evil, ever around Fundamental system of
government Quite incidental
(Eva:) So what are my chances of honest
advances? I'd say low Better to win by admitting my sin Than to lose
with a halo
(Che:) 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
(Che and
Eva:) 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?
Oh what I'd give for a hundred years But
the physical interferes Every day more, O 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
