i dreamt i met general franco, then i became spanish. well, ok, i know it's not very explicit, but really it's an anti-fascist song. if you've got half an hour i can walk you through my interpretation.
lyrics
me and the generalissimo
me and the generalissimo
down guantánamo way
me and the generalissimo
looks like we’re here to stay
he wants to buy me black lace panties
i tell him it’s not my style
he can’t believe i don’t like superman
we chat about nietzsche for a while
me and the generalissimo
looks like we’re good friends
while he sees to my fingernails
i’m wondering how this scene will end
i’m wondering what are the chances
i can mend these broken phalanxes
before i fly down to mexico
to open up the show
we can’t make any noise
or he’ll call out his boys
me and the generalissimo
it’s all hearts and flowers
in the school where they burned the children
that’s how he came to power
power, he came to power
poder, quería poder
