leaders are a feeble crewThere's only twenty of them
anywayWhat is twenty next to millions whoAre looking to you?All
you have to do is sit and waitKeeping out of everybody's
wayWe'll ... you'll be handed power on a plateWhen the
ones who matter have their sayAnd with chaos installedYou can
reluctantly agree to be called(Peron:)There again we could be
foolish not to quit while we're aheadFor distance lends
enchantment, and that is whyAll exiles are distinguished, more
important, they're not deadI could find job satisfaction in
Paraguay(Eva:)This is crazy defeatist talkWhy commit political

your ideals and your dreamHe supports you, for he loves

swallowingSometimes it's very difficult to keep momentumIf

have done what I didIf I hadn't thought, if I hadn't
knownWe would take the country(Eva:)Peron has resigned from the
