(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
