El Mozote Lyrics - 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 

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
