El Mozote
Screeching Weasel · Other Songs - Screeching Weasel
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 paid 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
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 paid 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
