An Interlude-Beginning To Take It Back
Words to describe Nicaragua of oldCash crops and hunger and US controlCoffee and sugar on company landMade to supply what the boss would demandThen one July morning in seventy-nineNicaragua decided to leave it behind(Chorus)And the people are learning to take back their livesAs the country will change, Sandinista survivesWomen are winning what they've never knownThe power to organize outside the homeStarting to find what is equal and fairEnsuring that this revolution is sharedRegaining lost chances, demanding much moreRunning the factories, fighting the war(Repeat chorus)Nobody claims that it's over and doneThere's too much depends on enlistment and gunsAnd raising their children and filling their platesAnd chasing the Contras to Washington StateThe Yankee conspiracy thrown to the groundThat's where the spirit of change can be found(Repeat chorus)
