Why are there women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here

I can't see what it is that they dispise
They're dancing with the missing

It's the only form of protest they're allowed
I've seen their silent faces scream so loud
If they were to speak these words they'd go missing too
Another woman on a torture table what else can they do

Hey Mr. Pinochet
You've sown a bitter crop
It's foreign money that supports you
7 B" `1 m& c; T' I( ^( G8 \One day the money's going to stop
No wages for your torturers
No budget for your guns
Can you think of your own mother

Those two songs go the same way, unlike our singers, foreign singers, however, are singing not only on romance,but on many serious topics like  politics and  enviroment.
5 G0 Q9 O" [4 ^" Pseems what our vanity fair  merely care is money, what a simple life they are leading!!
