1961

Verse
Back in April 1961
A day in history how can it be forgotten
Exiles where sent on American ships
Fighting for freedom, but what happened to them
Left with no air-support now they must fear
For not only their lives, but the lives on the island

Chorus (2 times)
This invasion Bay of Pigs
Almost caused us world war III

Verse
A country determined to stop the communists
Liberation was the policy, why abandon it
A young president
Maybe a little hesitant
Of what would happen if the world found out we behind it
Good intentions but no commitment

Chorus (2 times)
This invasion Bay of Pigs
Almost caused us world war III

Verse
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Left like a sitting duck
Feeling alone
Bullets grazing
They're grazing my neck
Grenades are puncturing
They're puncturing my chest
Only a miracle could save me from this mess
A broken promise now it's time
It's time to rest

Chorus (2 times)
This invasion Bay of Pigs
Almost caused us world war III
