The Lady`s Got Potential — текст песни (Madonna)

They had themselves a party at the point of a gun

They were slightly to the right of Attila the Hun

A bomb or two and very few objected



Yeah just one shell and governments fall like flies

Kapow die

They stumble and fall

Bye bye

Backs to the wall

Aim high

We`re having a ball

The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies



The lady`s got potential she was setting her sights

On making it in movies with her name in lights

The greatest social climber since Cinderella

Okay she couldn`t act but she had the right friends

And we all know a career depends

On knowing the right fella to be stellar



Yeah just one shell and governments lose their nerve

Kapow die

They stumble and fall

Bye bye

Backs to the wall

Aim high

We`re having a ball

That`s how we get the government we deserve



Now the man behind the president calling the shots

Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots

Was Colonel Juan Peron would be dictator

He began in the army out in Italy so

Saw Mussolini`s rise from the very front row

I reckon he`d do likewise sooner or later



Yeah just one blast and the teargas falls like rain

Kapow die

They haven`t a chance

Bye bye

The terrors advance

But one guy

Doesn`t dirty his hands

Peron was biding time out in the slow lane



Yeah suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan

Kapow die

They stumble and fall

Bye bye

Keep away from the wall

But one guy

Was having a ball

The tragedy a golden chance for Peron



He organized a concert with incredible flair

In aid of all the victims such a grand affair

Politicians actors stars of every flavor

It was on January 22 1944

A night to remember yeah that`s for sure

For that`s the night that Peron first met Eva

For that`s the night that Peron first met Eva
