A New Argentina - Michael Cerveris/Elena Roger/Ricky Martin/New Broadway Cast of Evita (2012)[00:00:00]

Written by：Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd-Webber[00:00:01]

Dice are rolling the knives are out[00:00:05]

Would be presidents are all around[00:00:09]

I don't say they mean harm[00:00:11]

But they'd each give an arm[00:00:13]

To see us six feet underground[00:00:16]

It doesn't matter what those morons say[00:00:21]

Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew[00:00:25]

There's only twenty of them anyway[00:00:29]

What is twenty next to millions who[00:00:33]

Are looking to you[00:00:36]

All you have to do is sit and wait[00:00:41]

Keeping out of everybody's way[00:00:45]

We'll you'll be handed power on a plate[00:00:49]

When the ones who matter have their say[00:00:55]

And with chaos installed[00:00:58]

You can reluctantly agree to be called[00:01:03]

There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead[00:01:08]

For distance lends enchantment and that is why[00:01:14]

All exiles are distinguished more important they're not dead[00:01:20]

I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay[00:01:26]

This is crazy defeatist talk[00:01:31]

Why commit political suicide there's no risk[00:01:33]

There's no call for any action at all[00:01:36]

When you have unions on your side[00:01:40]

Peron Peron[00:01:43]

A new Argentina the chains of the masses untied[00:01:51]

A new Argentina the voice of the people[00:01:59]

Cannot be denied[00:02:05]

There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime[00:02:10]

He lives for your problems he shares your ideals and your dream[00:02:15]

He supports you for he loves you[00:02:21]

Understands you is one of you[00:02:24]

If not how could he love me[00:02:26]

A new Argentina the workers' battle song[00:02:32]

A new Argentina the voice of the people[00:02:40]

Rings out loud and long[00:02:46]

Now I am a worker I've suffered the way that you do[00:02:51]

I've been unemployed and I've starved and I've hated it too[00:02:57]

But I found my salvation in Peron may the nation[00:03:02]

Let him save them as he saved me[00:03:08]

A new Argentina a new age about to begin[00:03:13]

A new Argentina we face the world together[00:03:21]

And no dissent within[00:03:27]

Nationalization of the industries that the foreigners control[00:03:32]

Participation in the profits that we make[00:03:37]

Shorter hours[00:03:43]

Higher wages[00:03:45]

Votes for women[00:03:46]

Larger dole[00:03:48]

More public spending[00:03:49]

A bigger slice of every cake[00:03:50]

How annoying that we have to fight elections for their cause[00:03:54]

The inconvenience having to get a majority[00:04:00]

If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause[00:04:06]

There are other ways of establishing authority[00:04:11]

We have ways of making you vote for us[00:04:17]

Or at least of making you abstain[00:04:19]

Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow[00:04:24]

The descamisados are those he is marching with now[00:04:29]

He supports you for he loves you understands you is one of you[00:04:34]

If not how could he love me[00:04:41]

A new Argentina[00:04:45]

The chains of the masses untied[00:04:48]

A new Argentina[00:04:54]

The voice of the people cannot be[00:04:56]

And will not be and must not be denied[00:05:02]

There again we could be foolish[00:05:10]

Not to quit while we're ahead[00:05:14]

I can see me many miles away[00:05:17]

Inactive[00:05:20]

Sipping cocktails on a terrace[00:05:23]

Taking breakfast in bed[00:05:26]

Sleeping easy doing crosswords[00:05:29]

It's attractive[00:05:32]

Don't think I don't think like you I often get those nightmares too[00:05:35]

They always take some swallowing[00:05:39]

Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum if[00:05:41]

It's you that you are following[00:05:45]

Don't close doors[00:05:47]

Keep an escape clause[00:05:49]

Because we might lose[00:05:50]

The big apple[00:05:52]

But would I have done what I did[00:05:56]

If I hadn't thought if I hadn't known[00:06:00]

We would take the country[00:06:04]

A new Argentina[00:06:12]

The chains of the masses untied[00:06:15]

A new Argentina[00:06:20]

The voice of the people cannot be[00:06:23]

And will not be and must not be denied[00:06:28]
