El salvador


Theres a sunny little country south of mexico
Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow
But breezes arent the only things that blow
In el salvador

If you took the little lady for a moonlight drive
Odds are still good youd come back alive
But everyone is innocent until they arrive
In el salvador

If the rebels take a bus on the grand highway
The government destroys a village miles away
The man on the radio says now well play south of the border
And in the morning the natives say,
Were happy you have lived another day
Last night a thousand more passed away
In el salvador

Theres a television crew here from abc
Filming rio lempe and the refugees
Calling murdered children the tragedy
Of el salvador

Before the government cameras 20 feet away
Another man is asking for continued aid
Food and medicine and hand grenades
For el salvador

Theres a thump, a rumble, and the buildings sway
A soldier fires the acid spray
The public address system starts to play south of the border
You run for cover and hide your eyes
You hear the screams from paradise
Theyve fallen further than you realize
In el salvador

Just like poland is protected by her russian friends
The junta is assisted by americans
And if 60 million dollars seems too much to spend
In el salvador

They say for half a billion they could do it right
Bomb all day, burn all night
Until theres not a living thing upright
In el salvador

Theyll continue training troops in the usa
And watch the nuns that got away
And teach the military bands to play south of the border
And kill the people to set them free
Who put this price on their liberty?
Dont you think its time to leave
El salvador?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics EL SALVADOR of PETER, PAUL & MARY is also present in the album No easy walk to freedom (1986)

Biografia

Peter, Paul and Mary is an American folk music trio formed in 1960 in New York City. Composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, the group rose to fame in the 1960s for their folk-rock music, often featuring politically and socially conscious lyrics. Among their most notable hits are "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (a cover of Bob Dylan), and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary participated in numerous events for the American civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. Their musical style influenced generations of folk and rock artists, contributing to the spread of folk music throughout the United States and the world. After a hiatus in the 1970s, the group reunited on several occasions for concerts and recordings until 2018, when Mary Travers passed away.
