andrew lloyd webber - waltz for eva and che lyrics
[che:]
tell me before i waltz out of your life
before turning my back on the past
forgive my impertinent behavior
but how long do you think this pantomime can last?
tell me before i ride off in the sunset
there’s one thing i never got clear
how can you claim you’re our savior
when those who oppose you are stepped on,
or cut up, or simply disappear?
[eva:]
tell me before you get onto your bus
before joining the forgotten brigade
how can one person like me, say,
alter the time-honored way the game is played?
tell me before you get onto your high horse
just what you expect me to do
i don’t care what the bourgeoisie say
i’m not in business for them
but to give all my descamisados
a magical moment or two
[che and eva:]
there is evil, ever around
fundamental system of government
quite incidental
[eva:]
so what are my chances of honest advances?
i’d say low
better to win by admitting my sin
than to lose with a halo
[che:]
tell me before i seek worthier pastures
and thereby restore self-esteem
how can you be so short-sighted
to look never further than this week or next week
to have no impossible dream?
[eva:]
allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines
and mark your adieu with three cheers
but first tell me who’d be delighted
if i said i’d take on the world’s greatest problems
from war to pollution, no hope of solution
even if i lived for one hundred years
[che and eva:]
there is evil, ever around
fundamental system of government
quite incidental
[eva:]
so go, if you’re able, to somewhere unstable
and stay there
whip up your hate in some tottering state
but not here, dear
is that clear, dear?
oh what i’d give for a hundred years
but the physical interferes
every day more, o my creator
what is the good of the strongest heart
in a body that’s falling apart?
a serious flaw, i hope you know that
