El Salvador - Peter, Paul And Mary |

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] |
