Song by Bouncing Souls<br /><br>

The hot Sunni sun <br>

passes Moaning Mosque Spire. <br>

B-company's pinned down <br>

and under heavy fire. <br>

Underneath the palms <br>

there's improvised bombs. <br>

Because Jihad Johnny <br>

Knows- Yankee is a liar. <br>

<br>

[Chorus:] <br>

An eye for an eye. <br>

And blood for Texas Tea. <br>

At the call to prayer <br>

Al Queda's on his knees. <br>

Isac vs. Ishmael. <br>

Allah vs. Christ. <br>

[...] on the offense <br>

picking up the beat. <br>

<br>

There's celebratory fire <br>

And a purple thumb vote. <br>

Tom cruise is on a sortie <br>

from a gulf love boat. <br>

Smart bombs are a coming, <br>

See the children running. <br>

The dead are all laughing, <br>

But we don't get the joke. <br>

<br>

[Chorus] <br>

<br>

They lost another friend today. <br>

It's getting rough over there. <br>

They say the whole things fucked. <br>

I wish the boys were back. <br>

At least I know they're still alive. <br>

Another letter from Iraq. <br>

<br>

Presents full of Christmas loot. <br>

All that's left of Bullet Billy- <br>

is a pair of bloody boots. <br>

His mom is on the phone, <br>

His girl is all alone. <br>

We all stand in the rain <br>

for a twenty-one gun salute<br>

<br>
