about

Between 1978 and 1989 it is estimated that 40,000 people were killed in the Nicaraguan Revolution.

lyrics

We have the guns on the breakfast table;
there are too many bullets in the air
And you look oh so young and able;
too bad you don’t seem to care.
There’s a van with surveillance equipment
they parked it just outside
Even if they’re on to the shipment
you know that we don’t run and hide

And I feel like, feel like, I’m going home

Our man is proud but he’s humble,
he wears Jesus Christ around his neck
We run the guns up through the jungle,
in trucks no one would suspect
Oh all the sacrifice and sweetness;
that sad pained look in his eyes
But nobody asked him for forgiveness,
nobody asked him to die

And I feel like, feel like, I’m going home

You let your guard down too quickly; you keep a too open mind
You find this work to be sickly, it takes a special kind
I haven’t slept right in three weeks; I eat maybe once a day
Violence is the only language he speaks, he sees no other way
Keep communications quiet, keep the light down low
There’s a flash of metal in the moonlight, my light is fading slow
There is a boat over yonder that will take me to the other side
Nobody asked him for forgiveness, nobody asked him to die.

And I feel like, feel like, I’m going home
