Eva's Final Broadcast ("Evita" - 1976 Concept Album)

That was the over the top unacceptable suggestion

We didn't approve

But we couldn't prevent

The games of the wife of the president

But to give her pretensions encouragement

She's out of her depth and it's out of the question

Forgive my intrusion Evita I just have to see

How you admit you have lost a brand new experience

We

Got it set up

We fixed you a broadcast

And you're so good on the air

The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear

How could she feel defeated by such cringing mediocrities

She's sad for her country

Sad to be defeated by her own weak body

She's sad for her people

She hopes they will know she did not betray them

I want to tell the people of Argentina

I've decided I should decline

All the honours and titles you've pressed me to take

For I'm contented

Let me simply go on

As the woman who brings her people to the heart of Peron

Don't cry for me Argentina

For the truth is I shall not leave you

Though it may get harder

For you to see me

I'm Argentina

And always will be

Have I said too much

There's nothing more I can think of to say to you

But all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true
