I saw her in the city centerWith a thermos full of coffeeMaking the local brewOn a street called Salvador AllendeI gave her a peso and took a sipAnd sat beneath a palm treeIt's so easy to be a criminalWhen you're trading with the enemyI sat down on a park benchBeside a statue of John LennonAnd as I watch the children dancingIt's so easy to imagineA world without bordersHere, so close to MiamiAs I smoke a Cigarro PopularOnce more trading with the enemyBiking down a country roadOnly one of many othersThe people call me companeroAnd greet me as their brotherOne man has a basket full of mangoesAnd I'm sure Jesse would agreeWith each bite I undermine my countryBy trading with the enemySongtexteWatch the oxen pull the carriageAnd the organic farms aboundAll the fertilizer's goneBut there are other ways to feed the groundInspiring the worldWith the strength of creativitySee the past and future come togetherTrading with the enemyAnd I just want to tell youThat the enemy's so lovelySuch a proud and beautiful peopleFrom the mountains to the seaFrom the clinics to the schoolyardsChe Guevara to MartiWe have only our chains to loseFrom trading with the enemy Aus Songtexte Mania
