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 freeMaybe 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 doYou 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 freeSee 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 SalvadorYou 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
