Burn Again

Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again

Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again

To be born again

When liberty stood tall in the constitution

But that torch today casts a giant doubt

When the senate sends the contras out

To hunt them down, hunt them and destroy the free

And it is to our shame the west would aim

To cut that freedom down

Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again

Burn Again! Must Nicaragua burn again

Because the USA's got the need to-day

To be born again

Born again Must Nicaragua burn again
