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
