Should the U.S. be provoking war
on Venezuela recklessly?
There’s an easy answer: Let ’em be!

And why should we bomb fishing boats
when we’ve no proof of their misdeeds?
Here’s some words of wisdom: Let ’em be!

Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off Venezuela! Let ’em be!

They claim there’s cocaine on those dinghies,
fentanyl and deadly things
So they blow them up, don’t wait and see

But it’s a hoax, the “war on drugs”
It’s murder on the open seas
These are crimes against humanity

Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off Venezuela! Let ’em be!

So why the military buildup,
threatening so baselessly?
Why not let a sovereign nation be?

And what should Venezuela be
attracting such hostility?
They have lots of oil and energy

Let ’em be! Let ’em be!

Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off Venezuela! Let ’em be!

Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off Venezuela! Let ’em be!
