VERSE 1
=======
RIFF 3 (F1)
Blockades won't win you more votes
RIFF 4 (F2)
A Cuban adjustment act
RIFF 3 (F1)
Offer the world a dream
RIFF 4 (F2)
Dress it up - it's blackmail
RIFF 5 (F1)
Internal matter they say
RIFF 6 (F2)
For two million dollars a day
RIFF 3 (F1)
Maybe a future in film
RIFF 4 (F2)
But Cuban boxers still win
BRIDGE

VERSE 2

RIFF 3 (F1)
Across the unfair divide
RIFF 4 (F2)
Where black will never meet white
RIFF 3 (F1, F5)
So read my token lips
RIFF 4 (F2)
As if they never exist
RIFF 5 (F1)
You cannot buy a nation
RIFF 6 (F2)
Not even Miami mob
RIFF 3 (F1)
We follow a shining path
RIFF 4 (F2)
That you will never destroy
