El Salvador - Peter, Paul And Mary |

[00:22.91] |
There's a sunny little country south of Mexico |
[00:26.58] |
Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow |
[00:30.66] |
But breezes aren't the only things that blow in El Salvador |
[00:36.10] |
|
[00:37.74] |
If you took the little lady for a moonlight drive |
[00:41.94] |
Odds are still good you'd come back alive |
[00:45.47] |
But everyone is innocent until they arrive in El Salvador |
[00:51.00] |
|
[00:52.62] |
If the rebels take a bus on the grand highway |
[00:56.62] |
The government destroys a village miles away |
[01:00.28] |
The man on the radio says 'now we'll play South of the Border' |
[01:08.28] |
And in the morning the natives say, |
[01:11.94] |
We're happy you have lived another day |
[01:15.49] |
Last night a thousand more passed away in El Salvador |
[01:22.00] |
|
[01:29.75] |
There's a television crew here from ABC |
[01:33.89] |
Filming Rio Lempe and the refugees |
[01:37.51] |
Calling murdered children the 'tragedy' of El Salvador |
[01:43.00] |
|
[01:44.57] |
Before the government cameras 20 feet away |
[01:48.92] |
Another man is asking for continued aid |
[01:52.59] |
Food and medicine and hand grenades for El Salvador |
[01:58.00] |
|
[01:59.34] |
There's a thump, a rumble, and the buildings sway |
[02:03.65] |
A soldier fires the acid spray |
[02:06.93] |
The public address system starts to play South of the Border |
[02:14.72] |
You run for cover and hide your eyes |
[02:18.42] |
You hear the screams from paradise |
[02:22.22] |
They've fallen further than you realize in El Salvador |
[02:30.00] |
|
[02:41.49] |
Just like Poland is 'protected' by her Russian friends |
[02:47.29] |
The junta is 'assisted' by Americans |
[02:50.52] |
And if 60 million dollars seems too much to spend in El Salvador |
[02:56.00] |
|
[02:57.29] |
They say for half a billion they could do it right |
[03:02.53] |
Bomb all day, burn all night |
[03:05.94] |
Until there's not a living thing upright in El Salvador |
[03:12.00] |
|
[03:12.62] |
They'll continue training troops in the USA |
[03:17.28] |
And watch the nuns that got away |
[03:20.94] |
And teach the military bands to play South of the Border |
[03:28.66] |
And kill the people to set them free |
[03:32.20] |
Who put this price on their liberty? |
[03:35.83] |
Don't you think it's time to leave El Salvador? |
[03:45:50] |
