Story Behind the Song
Wrote this at camp (Camp Ramah mother trucker) and it was enjoyed. Then I kept playing it and now my band, (well my band's band) The Tangels, play an acoustic version of it (just me playing and singing and they add backup vocals)...well we played it at my high school's battle of the bands (Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix) and it was loved there as well....
Lyrics
Hector was a rebel, a coke-dealin' mamacita
Didn't like the government, so he blew people up in the streeta
He sent threatning letters to party leaders
And he sold acid by the liter
Chorus:
Well we're dancing with cows, lactaid milk (x3)
Four fat levels with unique colors
The economy's unstable, since we screw up everything
I guess we don't want a democratic label
We propagandize the countryside, and gain popularity throughout the people
(Chorus)
Screw the future of Columbia
We like to rumba
We want to corrupt no matter what
Che' Guervera would have never foreseen this rebel smut
(chorus)
Terror has spread (lactaid milk)
Only care about yourself (lactaid milk)
Kashmir, Israel, Bosnia, Argentina
Instead of talking we're drinking Aquafina
Lactaid milk (lactaid milk)
Lactaid milk (lactaid milk)
It won't feel right but it will make you sleep at night (X2)
(Chorus)

notes: This song is about the Columbian Rebels who sell drugs and try to corrupt things. A few points of clarification, the Rebels I don't think sell acid yet I used it to rhyme...not sure though. Also, in the second verse instead of talking about Hector as an outsider (like in the first verse), I am part of the rebels, then in the last verse, "terror has spread...", I am talking as an outsider again to the outside world esp. Americans about their choosing to ignore worldly issues. Good times.
