Lyrics
English: Somewhere in El Salvador / There's a grave for seven hundred / Pits full of guts / And kids who were tortured and hunted / By death squad soldiers / Who won't ever be purged or punished / Paid for by a government / That our tax dollars funded... / But that was so long ago / And our officials have retired / And once the stench is gone / It's easier to forgive the liars / There's so many atrocities / This nation's since acquired / And a Mỹ Lai doesn't mean much / With the papers stayin' quiet
