Chorus:

You can't defeat him - he's fighting for Freedom

That's all he wanted - that's all he needs

You'll never beat him with weapons and money

There ain't no chain as strong as the will to be free



Maybe his colors are driving you crazy

Call him a commie - maybe it's true

Lure him away from his home with your money

Give him the work that you don't want to do



Chorus:

You can't defeat him - he's fighting for Freedom

That's all he wanted - that's all he needs

You'll never beat him with weapons and money

There ain't no chain as strong as the will to be free



See how we honor the struggle for Freedom

They needed vision - we gave'em war

See who is patiently watching in silence

The crucification of El Salvador



Chorus:

You can't defeat him - he's fighting for Freedom

That's all he wanted - that's all he needs

You'll never beat him with weapons and money

There ain't no chain as strong as the will to be free
