And now the end is near
So I expanded the iron curtain
My comrade, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each Venezuelan highway
And more, much more than this
I nationalized it my way

Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
Expanded communism without exemption

I central-planned each charted course
Renamed all roads Hugo Chavez Highway
And now, much more than this
I nationalized it my way

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
Sean Penn bragged of what I do
But through it all when there was doubt
Danny Glover helped get word out, I faced it all
And with Hollywood stood tall and nationalized it my way

I've gone to NATO, showed my pride
Smelled some sulfur, and babbled confusing
And now as tears subside
I find my rants, so very amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say not in a nice way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I nationalized it my way

For what is a man what has he got
If not support from Hollywood, he has not
Cannot say the things he truly feels
Must say the right words or risk being killed
The record shows I gave the blows
And nationalized my way

Yes it was my way

I wipe a tear most equal comrade
