If you go down to the streets today
You’re sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the streets today
You’d better protect your eyes!
For all of Chile that ever there was
Will gather there for certain Because
Today’s the day the Chileans have to protest
Protest time for Chileans
United Chileans are having an angry time today
The soldiers catch them unawares
And try to torture them in their hide aways
See them peacefully mill about
They love to play and shout
But have so many cares
At six o’clock the curfew tries
to send them home to bed
But they’re not tired little Chileans
Every Chilean who’s been good
Is sure of tear gas today
There’s lots of marvelous signs to read
And pots and pans to play
Behind the tricks of dictatorships
And neo liberal politics
‘Cause that’s the reason
Chileans have to protest
