Fifteen men taken captive in a hostile foreign landScorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sandA mideast country being ruledBy a man who thinks it's funTo hold our people in returnFor a shah that's on the runI think it's funnyFreedom takes moneyIt's a heartache and it's hard luckWell that's tough shit, man, it's no funStorm the Iranian embassyBefore they start shootin' down you and meScourge of suits in controlOf the diplomatic-nessWhile the nations of the worldLook on and they care lessThe Soviet Union won't agreeTo an economic planAnd then they laugh and march their troops into AfghanistanOrders from MoscowInvade Tehran nowLetras de cancionesIt's a heartache and it's hard luckWell that's tough shit, man, it's no funStorm the Iranian embassyBefore they start shootin' at you and meA nation worries and reads the papersHoping that no-one has diedHearin' rumours that the hostagesWill soon be tried as spiesDemonstrations on the streetSaying that the end is nearThe man from New York Times on vacationWants to know what happened hereAgressive acts nowWe want the best nowFifteen moms cryingIs my son dying?It's a heartache and it's hard luckWell that's tough shit, man, it's no funStorm the Iranian embassyBefore they start shootin' at you and me From Letras Mania
