(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
