Текст песни Ferdinando Marcos' villa by the sea

Ferdinando Marcos got a villa by the sea.
Now that should be a lesson to you and me.
All you do is punch out a thousand people’s eyes
And they’ll let you have a villa on the Hawaiian isles.

Take J.C. Duvalier, now he’s a decent chap
If some call him a murderer, I say it was all tit for tat.
Why should he take to killing so that some fine day
His children live in luxury in a land far away.

Ferdinando Marcos got a villa by the sea.
Now that should be a lesson to you and me.
Now Ronny I’m not saying, if he’s good or bad.
But if he says shoot the tommies shouldn’t we be glad.
Though we can’t all have a villa, we can all share in the gore…
And if things go like they usually do, we all get a little more.

Ferdinando Marcos, he's got a villa by the sea.
Now that should be a lesson to you and me.
God, he’s sitting up there, with a strange look on his face.
Now did I hear a back fire, in the human race?
Why the tough guys are getting the bounty,
And the gentle are getting the knife…
Or is that why he never told us the real meaning of life.

Ferdinando Marcos got a villa by the sea.
Now that should be a lesson to you and me.
All you do is punch out a thousand people’s eyes
And they’ll let you have a villa on the Hawaiian isles
