Catch 22 - Opportunity (1940) Lyrics

Catch 22 Lyrics

"Opportunity (1940)"

Hardships faced. We've been disgraced
Our plans for the land are degraded by menacing hands
But history's compelling us and telling us to do it all again
As far as I can see, everything that we had believed
Is more true now than ever before
And if the truth be known, we'd do it all again

We got low, down in Mexico
It seems so far after having been so close
We got low, down in Mexico
We lost everything except the things that matter most

Bureaucracy and hypocrisy are contagious and make us all victims eventually
You can take my life from me, but we'll do it all again
The seeds of truth will grow
People all will know of the visions that we have endeavored to show
And like the river, we will flow
We'll do it all again

We got low, down in Mexico
It seems so far after having been so close
We got low, down in Mexico
We lost everything except the things that matter most

Faceless men who represent no idea or purpose intend
To prevent devolution though revolution
But we'd do it all again
Even when I die, I hope you wouldn't cry
For my life has been happily spent in the struggle...
And I love you, so I'd do it all again

We got low, down in Mexico
It seems so far after having been so close
We got low, down in Mexico
We lost everything except the things that matter most
