(4,571 posts)2. Honduras, el salvador, guatemala. all places where the us has had extensive bad influence.
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

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

Who put this price on their liberty
Don't you think it's time to leave
El Salvador?
