lyrics
THE GENERAL (the coup from the perspective of the plotters, especially general augusto pinochet)
general! the navy captured valparaiso, the ships and the marines are in position.
perfect! how about the radio and tv-network.
destroyed. most of them
okay. send the air force to bomb the rest of them. allende should not know what’s happening.
take care of montero and arrest letelier, they insist of staying loyal and should both go to hell. carvajal should take over awaiting my orders, i’m calling allende forcing him to resign. surrender! surrender! your term is over. surrender! surrender! or we will bomb la moneda.
send the jets, this moron resists being deposed. general, the air force says, they’ll need more time.
there’s no time, the infantry should storm the palace, regardless of the consequences. surrender! surrender! your term is over. surrender! surrender! or we will bomb la moneda.
general, the troops are under fire, there are snipers on the rooftops. they need air support or will have to retreat.
i’m surrounded by idiots, where are the fucking jets? why does it take so long, to bomb one fucking building?
general, the jets arrived, the infantry rushed in. the loyalists are dead or arrested and allende is dead!
