Cuba, officially the Republic of Cuba (Spanish: República de Cuba ), is a country comprising the islands of Cuba, Isla de la Juventud and several archipelagos in the Caribbean Sea. The capital and largest city Havana is 365 km (227 mi) from Miami, Florida. Geographically, Cuba is considered part of North America. Culturally, it is considered part of Latin America.
Prior to Spanish colonization in the late 15th century, Cuba was inhabited by Amerindian tribes. It remained a colony of Spain until the Spanish–American War of 1898, which led to nominal independence as a de facto U.S. protectorate in 1902. As a fragile republic, Cuba attempted to strengthen its democratic system, but mounting political radicalization and social strife culminated in the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1952. Further unrest and instability led to Batista's ousting in January 1959 by the July 26 movement, which afterwards established a government under the leadership of Fidel Castro. Since 1965, the country has been governed by the Communist Party of Cuba.

They had an accident
And they never noticed anyway
A lack of originality
Couldn't focus on the day
So much for the radio
Everybody sounds the same
Everybody wears the same clothes now
And everybody plays the game
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy, copy, copy, copy yourself
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy, copy, copy everyone else
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy, copy, copy, copy yourself
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy, copy, copy everyone else
I've got a great idea
I will change things on my own
I see my vision very clear
Wouldn't wanna be another clone
So much for the radio, the radio is sad
Sad, sad, sad
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy, copy, copy, copy yourself
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy, copy, copy everyone else
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy, copy, copy, copy yourself

They had an accident
But they never noticed anyway
A lack of originality
Couldn't focus on the day
So much for the radio
