RIFF 4 (F2)
A Cuban adjustment act

Offer the world a dream
RIFF 4 (F2)
Dress it up - it's blackmail
RIFF 5 (F1)
Internal matter they say
RIFF 6 (F2)
For two million dollars a day
RIFF 3 (F1)
Maybe a future in film
RIFF 4 (F2)
But Cuban boxers still win

Not even Miami mob
RIFF 3 (F1)
We follow a shining path

That you will never destroy
