Letter From Iraq


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

[] 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
