lyrics

They'll keep you in solitary confinement
Who knows for how long
It's the only way to keep you silent
But your silence is strong

They who are so skilled in torture
At terrorizing faith
They who striped your body naked
Who degrade and humiliate

They who are so skilled in warfare
Under the banner of peace
Who killed 2 million Koreans
And 4 million Vietnamese

They'll keep you in solitary confinement
Who knows for how long
It's the only way to keep you silent
But your silence is strong

They who rode through the Powder River
With the machine gun and the flame
Who killed Crazy Horse in prison
And stormed the Philippines

They who flew the air of the Condor
Where the Madres dared to talk
Who killed thousands in Santiago
You heard it's echoes in Iraq

They'll keep you in solitary confinement
Who knows for how long
It's the only way to keep you silent
But your silence is strong
