[00:00.000]There's a sunny little country south of Mexico
[00:25.658]Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow
[00:29.566]But breezes aren't the only things that blow in El Salvador
[00:35.605]If you took the little lady for a moonlight drive
[00:40.475]Odds are still good you'd come back alive
[00:44.299]But everyone is innocent until they arrive in El Salvador
[00:49.972]If the rebels take a bus on the grand highway
[00:54.742]The government destroys a village miles away
[00:58.627]The man on the radio says "Now we'll play 'South of the Borde'"
[01:05.963]And in the morning the natives say
[01:09.441]"We're happy you have lived another day
[01:13.303]Last night a thousand more passed away in El Salvador"
[01:20.190]There's a television crew here from ABC
[01:31.402]Filming Rio Lempe and the refugees
[01:35.040]Calling murdered children the 'Tragedy' of El Salvador
[01:40.632]Before the government camera 20 feet away
[01:45.858]Another man is asking for continued aid
[01:49.434]Food and medicine and hand grenades for El Salvador
[01:55.481]There's a thump, a rumble, and the buildings sway
[02:00.417]A soldier fires the acid spray
[02:03.952]The public address system starts to play 'South of the Border'
[02:10.733]You run for cover and hide your eyes
[02:14.831]You hear the screams from paradise
[02:18.330]They've fallen further than you realize in El Salvador
[02:27.801]Just like Poland is protected by her Russian friends
[02:43.189]The junta is assisted by Americans
[02:46.842]And if 60 million dollars seems too much to spend in El Salvador
[02:52.637]They say for half a billion they could do it right
[02:58.042]Bomb all day and burn all night
[03:01.427]Until there's not a living thing upright in El Salvador
[03:07.638]And they'll continue training troops in the USA
[03:11.988]And watch the nuns that got away
[03:15.884]And teach the military bands to play South of the Border
[03:22.927]Killed the people to set them free
[03:27.039]Who put this price on their liberty
[03:30.687]Don't you think it's time to leave El Salvador?
