"Where satire is serious business"
ALMA MARTYR:
The Unofficial Anthem
of the School of the Americas
(parody of "America" from West Side Story
Click to start music)
Intro: Where can leaders get education?
In American domination!
Seeds of war always need sowing,
Keeping the:
"WESTERN HEMISPHERE INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL SECURITY COOPERATION"
Going!
And the money flowing
To the gun suppliers!
(Gotta fuel those fires!)
Come out to Fort Benning, Georgia
For lessons in war crimes and torture!
HAIL THE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS!
!LA ESCUELA DE TERROR Y DICTADOR!
Wasting the moolah of taxpayer(s)
On the School of the Americas!
Learn 'ow to stockpile and chute guns!
Go out and murder and rape nuns!
Attack 'armless people like big beasts!
Even assassinate poor priests!
TAKE BACK THE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS!
HIJACK THE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS!
Change it to something more ethical,
Train educators and peacemakers!
What a great service to mankind!
Killing off all of your own kind!
No boys allowed in this all-"guerrilla" school!
No bodies left for us to rule!
HAIL THE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS!
!LA ESCUELA DE TERROR Y DICTADOR!
Costing the taxpayer millions,
Turning the gun on civilians!
(machine gunfire) RAT-TAT TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT! Ka-BOOM!
