Oi Polloi

Hands Off Nicaragua

Nicaragua once suffered under a fascist regime,
but the people brought it down 'cos they had a dream
A dream that they could live in freedom from fear
But then the U.S.-Government had to interfere!

Americans out, Americans out!
Hear the people scream, hear the people shout
Americans out, Americans out!
We've got to fight the US interference with Nicaragua

U.S.-backed contras, right wing murdering scum
Fight to stop the country falling under their thumb!
They've tortured civilians, even murdered nuns
And they do it with American money and guns

Americans out, Americans out!
Hear the people scream, hear the people shout
Americans out, Americans out!
We've got to fight the US interference with Nicaragua

CIA murderers maim and kill
I think Reagan must be mentally ill
A dangerous nutter crazed with power
He's dragging us all nearer to our final hour

Americans out, Americans out!
Hear the people scream, hear the people shout
Americans out, Americans out!
We've got to fight the US interference with Nicaragua
