No More Vietnams

The marketplace was bustling in the morning

When the Army and the Ordn made their strike

Like a farmer killing chickens for the market

They cut down every living thing in sight

They tore into the wombs of the women

The sunlight gleaming on their bayonets

And the fishermen downstream

Though they never heard the screams

All in a harvest of human carnage in their nets

Take down my name, I ain't alone, I ain't ashamed

And I say USA out of El Salvador

You can tell the Pentagon we want no more Vietnams

We ain't marching into that jungle anymore

She left her home in Ohio far behind her

She swore a sacred vow to help the poor

With three sisters she was raped and slowly tortured

Left in a shallow grave in El Salvador

The doctor, he would grieve at all the suffering

He never asked his patients' party line

But he saved a rebel's life

The death squad came at night

Healing the sick his only crime

Take down my name, I ain't alone, I ain't ashamed

And I say USA out of El Salvador

You can tell the Pentagon we want no more Vietnams

We ain't marching into that jungle anymore

Our taxes buy the bullets of the killers

Our helicopters darken southern skies

Our business wants new markets and cheap labor

Our papers rush to print CIA lies

Take a message to the smiling politicians

Who like to talk so tough and act so brave

Rattling words of war, we've heard 'em all before

And we will answer them with peace and joy and rage

Take down my name, I ain't alone, I ain't ashamed

And I say USA out of El Salvador

You can tell the Pentagon we want no more Vietnams

We ain't marching into that jungle anymore
