The Pinkerton Thugs

The Struggle Continues

The Pinkerton Thugs


Thousands of miles away and I cannot get a job 
Well I'd rather be fighting in Lima cause my 
backs against the wall. Theres a broken old 
mill town here, and a ratty village there that 
seized the lion's den while they were eating 
the lion's share
Support Peruvian rebels
The political prisoner must be let go. Cause 
as they wine and dine their way they steal 
the food right from your throat. Have they ever 
been hungry? Have they ever been cold? Heads 
of the state held hostage in their won home
You can claim you're Red or Black now. 
But they both get scarred by the whip they crack out 
Some are age 14 with a mind and a gun yeah 
The most beautiful thing under the sun yeah
And the message won't be lost. For the mighty 
hours that you fought out there. We'll pass and kick 
the word along now. With the roots and 
folklore of this song now
We'll take your message to our streets...
Support Peruvian Rebels.
