A Cuban adjustment act

      RIFF 3 (F1)
Offer the world a dream

         RIFF 4 (F2)
Dress it up - it's blackmail

         RIFF 5 (F1)
Internal matter they say

    RIFF 6 (F2)
For two million dollars a day

        RIFF 3 (F1)
Maybe a future in film

          RIFF 4 (F2)
But Cuban boxers still win

BRIDGE

Where black will never meet white

        RIFF 3 (F1, F5)
So read my token lips

           RIFF 4 (F2)
As if they never exist

           RIFF 5 (F1)
You cannot buy a nation

         RIFF 6 (F2)
Not even Miami mob

          RIFF 3 (F1)
We follow a shining path

              RIFF 4 (F2)
That you will never destroy
