We Want Beans Not Goals
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Remember Mexico '86?
"Dirty" Diego, the Saint and Greaves
All covering up the cracks of an economic crisis
What the cameras don't show the viewers won't notice
Earthquake victims still in shacks
And 5,000 steelworkers given the sack
The protestors demanding beans not goals
The reality hidden as the spectacle prevails
Create a diversion, hide the real poverty
With pockets full of money, with stomachs still empty
