lirik lagu jd debris - who shot alexis argüello?
[verse 1]
i’m going down to managua
i’ve got a case i’m trying to solve
why el flaco explosivo’s ghost
still lingers undissolved
in a detective’s overcoat
i’m sweating bullets in the heat
like i stepped out of a film noir
not exactly too discreet
[pre~chorus 1]
they found him dead and judged it suicide
but just like in boxing, judging can be blind
so i’m going down to managua to find
[chorus 1]
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
is that the k!ller coming through
to rob the champion’s purse?
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
oh, poor alexis
must have been born under a curse
[verse 2]
your arm’s too short to box with god
n0body’s wingspan can reach that far
but though your arm’s too short to box with god
it’s long enough to spar
so i’m going down to managua
i’ve been so many times before
to dress up like a sandinista
and p~ss on william walker’s corpse
[pre~chorus 2]
now chico, macho, and arturo gatti wait
loitering outside the city gates
shouting at the bought~off magistrate:
[chorus 2]
“who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
did daniel ortega know
did he order the hit?
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?”
then they heard that pop pop pop pop
like alexis working the mitts
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
what was the sordid circumstance
of his ultimate breath?
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
oh, brother alexis
must have died a warrior’s death
[verse 3]
i’m going down to managua
(woah oh oh)
i’m going down to managua
(woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
[pre~chorus 3]
they found him dead and judged it suicide
but just like in boxing, judging can be blind
so i’m going down to managua to find
[chorus 3]
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
is that the k!ller coming through
to rob the champion’s purse?
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
oh, poor alexis
must have been born under a curse
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
what was the sordid circumstance
of his ultimate breath?
who shot, who shot alexis argüello?
oh, brother alexis
must have died a warrior’s death
[verse 4/outro]
i’m going down to managua
although i know the odds are slim
where the heavy bags swing after hours
like gallows in every gym
