	Helicopter missiles launch
	The ground rumbles
	Apartment complex shakes
	Just before it crumbles
	Children scream and die
	Wrong time, wrong place
	A woman wears a shawl
	That covers the scar upon her face
	A boy looks through a pool of blood
	And prays to see the day
	When the armies of the infidels
	Will once more go away
	And everybody's just
	Waiting for the fall
	Outside the Green Zone
	Through the machine gun turrets
	On the other side of the wall
	The lights go out again
	The city swelters in the heat
	A thousand ghosts are weeping
	Amid the pockmarked street
	No food in the markets
	You can't reap grain that you can't sow
	A no-man's land the Red Cross
	Doesn't dare to go
	A soldier shoots at everything
	Acting like the master race
	All the while wondering
	What he's doing in this place
	And everybody's just
	Waiting for the fall
	Outside the Green Zone
	Through the machine gun turrets
	On the other side of the wall
	No gas in the gas tanks
	Lines a mile long
	A nation turned to rubble
	Where everything's gone wrong
	Death squads roam the alleys
	Looking for the eye
	Of anyone who dares to say
	A lie is just a lie
	The torturers are torturing
	In a prison cell
	Flushing Korans down the toilet
	Saying all praise be to Shell
	And everybody's just
	Waiting for the fall
	Outside the Green Zone
	Through the machine gun turrets
	On the other side of the wall
	Humvee fires
	Someone fires back
	A sound that lets you know
	You're somewhere in Iraq
	Surgeons with no medicine
	Wonder what to do
	And ask how things might be
	If the outside world knew
	And in an ivory tower in Texas
	They're toasting the New Year
	Not knowing there's a country
	Far away from here
	And everybody's just
	Waiting for the fall
	Outside the Green Zone
	Through the machine gun turrets
	On the other side of the wall
	Where everybody's just…

	Helicopter missiles launch
	The ground rumbles
	Apartment complex shakes
	Just before it crumbles
	Children scream and die
	Wrong time, wrong place
	A woman wears a shawl
	That covers the scar upon her face
	A boy looks through a pool of blood
	And prays to see the day
	When the armies of the infidels
	Will once more go away
	And everybody' s just
	Waiting for the fall
	Outside the Green Zone
	Through the machine gun turrets
	On the other side of the wall
	The lights go out again
	The city swelters in the heat
	A thousand ghosts are weeping
	Amid the pockmarked street
	No food in the markets
	You can' t reap grain that you can' t sow
	A noman' s land the Red Cross
	Doesn' t dare to go
	A soldier shoots at everything
	Acting like the master race
	All the while wondering
	What he' s doing in this place
	And everybody' s just
	Waiting for the fall
	Outside the Green Zone
