GRINGO LOCO

​

MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DANNY SHAIN

​

VERSE I:   

I believe we all have one Father and that means there are

                no favorites.

To live and let live y respetar should be the deal we all get.

Before we drew that line over la tierra that wasn’t mine

There was a different kind of freedom, a different place and a different time.

 

CHORUS: La cultura Latina gives much more than tacos, tequila and

                lindas señoritas. 

With liberty and justice for all, they say building a wall will fix all los problemas…

They might call me a socialista o traidor but I don’t give a damn.

All this hypocrisy has to fall and if that makes me a crazy,

Then a Gringo Loco, I am.

 

VERSE II:

I saw the names etched on the wall in the church at the Alamo.

Muchos Latinos fell there too in the name of liberty don’t you know.

Since then, like many others, Latinos answered the Call of Duty.

How can there be tantos ciegos in this great country?

 

CHORUS: La cultura Latina gives much more than tacos, tequila and

lindas señoritas. 

With liberty and justice for all, they say building a wall will fix all los problemas…

They might call me a socialista o traidor but I don’t give a damn.

All this hypocrisy has to fall and if that makes me a crazy,

Then a Gringo Loco, I am.

 

VERSE III:

Some people say I am loco for what I believe and that may be true.

Todos merecen respecto in the land of the red, white and blue.

Noy soy un religious man pero malo es malo and right is right.

One nation under God with equality for all, is worth the fight.

 

Chorus
