LYRICS:

Why do you have this hold on me?
My body's not my own you'll never leave
My life is yours you can take it away
You take all our souls
For your greed your power
America's wonderful tower

Why do you torture us so?
I thought you called us primitive
As you chopped up my sister
Placing her pulp into my mother's womb
Is this army to save us?

We have no money to keep us alive
Without you we could survive
Body hold leaves me cold
Body hold is America's old
Is England's old power and glory
Is hope no antidote?
No hope for El Salvador
America's rushing
Russia's looking
But there's no choice, no choice

Death stares us all around
Faces buried in the ground
Blood tears all these years
Suffocated by our fears

Looking across everywhere
See the pollution in my hair
Looking across everywhere
Rotting bodies and who cares?
Ozone layers in the sky
Nothing left we must die
See the little children cry
Everybody's going wild

Why must they rule our bodies?

Look how they rule the state
The state of the disgrace
It's the human race
I just hate this place
No escape that is clear
See the man with the shears
Orange peel in his beer
Keeps us in good cheer
