Fallujah
Maybe you'll hear about me When you watch the evening news So I write this letter for you, my friends The truth then you may choose I had a good time at Oxford And the world I did roam When my studies were finished Then I went back home All I wanted were good things Land and liberty And all the sorts of things we learned At the university I'm not a fan of dictatorships I'd rather say live and let live But for those who would threaten my family There's nothing I won't give (Chorus) I will fight for my country I'll defend this land I will stare at the whites of your soldiers' eyes With this Kalishnikov in my hand When you break down the doors of my neighbors When you say that might makes right Letras de cancionesWhen you say you're looking for terrorists In their bedroom late at night When you torture my brother at gunpoint On his head a canvass sack All I can say to you, soldier Is you'd best watch your back (Chorus) When you come with your tanks on our city streets And you say these streets are yours When you say you'll rebuild us with bombers And oil tankers on our shores When you have gunned down my child in Fallujah You needn't wonder why I look at you through the blades of your 'copter and say It's a good day to die (Chorus) From Letras Mania
