David Rovics lyrics : "Luis Posada"

Luis Posada lived in Havana
There amongst the gentry
With the doctors and lawyers and mafia bosses

He thought it was his country
When the revolution came he left
Just ninety miles away

Then he signed up for a course
At the SOA


Luis Posada left Fort Benning
A lieutenant working for the CIA
A long career of death and murder

Began on that day
He planted bombs in Cuban cafes
To strike fear within the hearts

Of the Cuban people
And he directed every part
And now he is a free man in Miami


Luis Posada hired hitmen
To plant bombs inside a plane

Seventy-three people
Died in a blood-red rain
He ran guns and drugs for the Contras

And there he trained a terror cell
To wreak havoc on their homeland
And of course to kill Fidel

And now he is a free man in Miami

Luis Posada went to prison

He was caught with thirty pounds
Of C4 explosives
He was gonna bring a building down

He could have killed two thousand
That night in Panama
But Bush said hand him over

We want him in Florida
And now he is a free man in Miami


Luis Posada is a free man
Not so the Cuban Five
Who agreed to leave their homeland

To allow it to survive
Undercover in south Florida
They were the eyes and ears

For fighting terrorism
Theyre serving twenty years
While Posada is a free man in Miami
