...
(CNN)Central American migrants en route to the United States face incredibly tough odds.

If they're not tossed from a train or left in a desert, they may be cheated -- or worse.

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

Bomb all day and burn all night
Until there's not a living thing upright
In El Salvador

And they'll continue training troops in the USA
And watch the nuns that got away
And teach the military bands to play
South of the Border

Killed the people to set them free
Who put this price on their liberty
Don't you think it's time to leave
El Salvador?
