Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Living through another Cuba
It's 1961 again and we are piggy in the middle
Living through another Cuba
While war is polishing his drum
And peace plays second fiddle
[Verse 2]
Living through another Cuba
Russia and America are at each other's throats
But don't you cry
Living through another Cuba
Just on your knees and pray
And while you're down there kiss your ass goodbye
Living through another Cuba
[Verse 3]
Living through another Cuba
We're the bulldog on the fence
While the others play their tennis overhead
Living through another Cuba
It's hardly love all and somebody might
Wind up red or dead
[Verse 4]
Living through another Cuba
Pour some oil on the water quick
It doesn't really matter where from
Living through another Cuba
He loves me, he loves me not
He's pulling fins from an atom bomb
Living through another Cuba
[Verse 5]
Living through another Cuba
This phenomenon happens every twenty years or so
Living through another Cuba
If they're not careful your watch won't be the
Only thing with a radioactive glow
[Verse 6]
Living through another Cuba
I'll stick my fingers in my ears
And hope they make it up before too late
Living through another Cuba
If we get through this lot alright
They're due for replay 1998
Living through another Cuba
[Verse 7]
Living through another Cuba
Living through another, living through another
Living through another, living through another
Living through another, 'nother
[Verse 8]
Living through another Cuba
Another uba-uba-uba-uba-uba, living through a
[Verse 9]
Living through another Cuba
[Verse 10]
Living through another Cuba
Watch out for my corpse in the color supplement, woo
[Verse 11]
Living through another Cuba
[Verse 12]
Living through another Cuba
Living through another Cuba just like 1961
Living through another Cuba
Get the bulldog to put his teeth back in, woo
[Verse 13]
Living through another Cuba
Living through another Cuba
Living through another Cuba
I love it
Living through another Cuba
You bomb you bomb you bomb the bomb bomb
[Verse 14]
Living through another Cuba
