Salinas de Gortari

Salinas de Gortari...

by Tony Ryals

Born to a U.S. educated Mexican cacique,
They shot their maid when he was only three,
Singing Davy Crockett's got nothing on me,
Salinas, Salinas de Gortari,
King of the wild frontiers,
Friend of the Bush's and trade so free,
Of America, Mexico, Canada - all three,
Writing for the Wall Street Journal to inform humanity,
Stole an election with computer trickery,
Proving computers aren't too trusty,
Salinas, Salinas de Gortari,
King of the wild frontiers,
When things got too hot in Mexico he had to flee,
To cross those northern frontiers where it's so free,
If you have stolen enough money,
I hate to say but the Democrats were wrong,
To listen to the Bush bird's haunting song,
For Americans one job in the U.S. industrial rush,
Is surely worth ten in the Mexican bush,
International bankers get the money,
America gets the oil,
Mexican workers get nothing but toil
Proving once again that Carlos Salinas’ Harvard education,
Was a good investment for international industrialists and the American administration,
But thanks to NAFRA the U.S. - Mexican border don't look like before,
Thanks to NAFTA it looks like a victim of a Third World War,
Salinas, Salinas de Gortari,
King of the wild front-tears,
