Got a buddy in najaf, he’s playing it straight Prays to the lord jesus christ every night Got a homey in samarra goin’ up the wall Every time he hear an islamic prayer call Me, i don’t care much for jesus or mohammed They don’t stop bullets to the best of my knowledge Later for the both of you, catch you in eternity Hopefully, towards the end of this century
I didn’t want to come here, i didn’t get to choose, I got the hup, two, three, four downtown baghdad blues.
I wish i was back home rootin’ for the padres ‘stead of dodgin’ bullets from mookie el sadr I wish i was back in the land of giuliani Instead of takin’ heat from ayatollah sistani Don’t know what i’m doin,’ but one thing is clear Twenty years old, i can kill but i can’t buy a beer Keep your head down, don’t get your brain cells fried You’ll be home by christmas - dead or alive!
I wish i was back in the us of a Instead dodgin’ rockets in falluji-ay There’s a lady with my tattoo on her so special Dream of her and me out in the desert She ridin’ round in her daddy’s ford explorer I’m kickin’ in doors, hey, i thought this war was over Got sand in my nose, sand in my eyes But the sand can’t cover up the sights of a Sniper with my number, got his finger on the trigger Hope my baby’s okay, still waitin’ for a letter All i get are emails, so much unsaid It’s hot here, baby, but it’s so cold inside my head.
Mission accomplished, yeah, up on deck Got no armor for my humvee, left facin’ this train wreck Shia don’t like me, want islamic revolution Sunni say civil war is part of the solution Maybe someday there’ll be peace in fallujah Mcdonald’s on the boulevard, cadillac cruisin’ I’m tryin’ hard to keep this whole thing straight But will someone tell me what am i doin’ here in the first place?
