American Made Death Squad Lyrics - Singles - Behind Enemy Lines

Hidden behind a wall of secrecy and right in our own backyard 

In fort Benning, Georgia lies the pentagons prize 

Well protected behind gun and guard 

It's the training ground for counter insurgency 

For the Latin American and Caribbean countries 

Specializing in psychological warfare and assassinations 

And repression of the people in their own nations 

Here comes the death squad 

American made 

An army of butchers 

Product of the S.O.A. 

American interests are protected by this machine of death 

The School of Americas provides the muscle 

They're the enforcers of the policies of the World bank and the I.M.F. 

They commit atrocities for American globalization 

And profits for multinational corporations 

At the expense of the people who don't adhere 

And are subjected to torture then disappear 

Here comes the death squad 

American made 

An army of butchers 

Product of the S.O.A. 

With the school now under fire from human rights advocates 

The pentagon's official action has been to change the name 

So it could continue its mission and operation 

Nice new image for the same old game 

But with every human rights violation the opposition grows 

And it won't let up until the S.O.A. is closed 

So you can keep on arresting those who cross the protest line 

But you can't cover up who's really committing the crime 

With almost 60,000 graduates from 23 countries 

Responsible for some of the most notorious crimes against humanity 

Like the massacres that were committed in El Salvador's civil war 

Or the 30,000 people slaughtered in Argentina's 'dirty war' 

America has created a monster from which no one is safe 

And it will continue to assassinate, torture and rape 

Until we take responsibility and say enough is enough 

Since every bit of their training has been funded by us 

Here comes the death squad 

American made 

An army of butchers 

Product of the S.O.A.
