Lyrics

The hot Sunni sun passes
Moaning Mosque
Spire. B-company's pinned down and under heavy fire.
Underneath the palms there's improvised bombs.
Because Jihad
Johnny Knows-
Yankee is a liar. [Chorus:]
An eye for an eye.
And blood for
Texas Tea.
At the call to prayer
Al Queda's on his knees.
Isac vs. Ishmael.
Allah vs.
Christ. [...]</i> on the offense picking up the beat.
There's celebratory fire
And a purple thumb vote.
Tom cruise is on a sortie from a gulf love boat.
Smart bombs are a coming,
See the children running.
The dead are all laughing,
But we don't get the joke. [Chorus]
They lost another friend today.
It's getting rough over there.
They say the whole things fucked.
I wish the boys were back.
At least I know they're still alive.
Another letter from
Iraq. Presents full of
Christmas loot.
All that's left of
Bullet Billy- is a pair of bloody boots.
His mom is on the phone,
His girl is all alone.
We all stand in the rain for a twenty-one gun salute.
