(verse)
little indian girl, where is your mama?
little indian girl, where is your papa?
he's fighting in the war in the streets of masaya
all the children were dead
except for the girl who said
"please mister gringo, please find my father"
lesson number one better learn while you're young
life just goes on and on getting harder and harder
little indian girl, from nueva, granada
(verse)
ma says there's no food, there's nothing left in the larder
last piece of meat was eaten by the soldiers that raped her
lesson number one that you learn when you're young
life just goes on and on getting harder and harder
life just goes on and on getting harder and harder
little indian girls from nueva, granada
little indian girls from nueva, granada
yes, i saw them today
it's a sight i would say
they're shooting down planes
with their m-16 and with laughter
(verse)
mr. gringo, my father he ain't no che guevara
and he's fighting a war on the streets of masaya
little indian girl where is your father?
indian girl where is your momma?
they're fighting for mr. castro in the streets of angola
