Spanish Civil War Song
Oh, say do you remember 25 years ago
They fought the fascist army, they fought the fascist foe?
Do you remember Franco, Hitler's old ally?
He butchered Spain's democracy, half a million free men died
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Did you wonder why?
Did you ever pause and cry?
And don't forget the churches and the sad role that they played
They crucified their people and worked the devil's trade
But now the wounds are healing with the passing on, of time
So we send them planes and rifles and recognize their crime

Ai, ai, ai, ai
Did you wonder why?
Did you ever pause and cry?
So spend your tourist dollars and turn your heads away
Forget about the slaughter, it's the price we all must pay
For now the world's in struggle, to win we all must bend
So dim the light in freedom's soul, sleep well tonight, my friend
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Did you wonder why?
Did you ever pause and cry?
