Lyrics
El Mozote
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
somewhere in el salvador there's a grave for
700 pits full of guts and kids who
were tortured and hunted by death squad soldiers
who won't ever be purged or punished piad
for by a government that our tax dollars
funded el mozote (x3) but that was so
long ago and our officials have retired and
once the stench is gone it's easy to
forgive liars and there's so many atrocities this
nation's since acquired and a my lai dosen't
mean much when the papers stay quiet
