(Kris Kristofferson)

You can't defeat him, he's fightin' 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 drivin' 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.

You can't defeat him, he's fightin' 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.

You can't defeat him, he's fightin' 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.

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