Anti-Flag - Vieques, Puerto Rico: Bikini Revisited [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

All united, all as one, let's make a stand...
We've got a privilege in the power that we command!
So let's not drown in ignorance
And let our strenght waste away...
As the richest nation in the world, we've got a responsibility!

Vieques, Puerto Rico, a pretectorate -- of the usa
Part a home for native families, the rest...
A navy bombing range!!

Shells misfired kill civilians there
And napalm hangs in the island air
But the government beats down protests against this misuse...

So...

Stand up, fight back, resist-Refuse!!
Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...
So
Stand up, fight back, resist-Refuse!!
Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...

I look into the eyes, of a dead island boy's face
His (eyes) remind me of another's
From a different time and place...

Where A-Bombs baked the ground
Of Bikini's tropical lands
Where a culture was erased
Families misplaced
By A nazi-Esque like plan!!!

All done, in your name, by Uncle Sam...
So if we don't fight it, then we're guilty to!

So...

Stand up, fight back, resist-Refuse!!
Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...

I think it's 'bout time that we had a change...
I think it's 'bout time that we make A change!!
