Maybe you'll hear about me[00:00:03]
When you watch the evening news[00:00:06]
So I write this letter for you my friends[00:00:10]
The truth then you may choose[00:00:13]
I had a good time at Oxford[00:00:16]
And the world I did roam[00:00:18]
When my studies were finished[00:00:19]
Then I went back home[00:00:24]
All I wanted were good things[00:00:27]
Land and liberty[00:00:29]
And all the sorts of things we learned[00:00:35]
At the university[00:00:38]
I'm not a fan of dictatorships[00:00:43]
I'd rather say live and let live[00:00:44]
But for those who would threaten my family[00:00:46]
There's nothing I won't give[00:00:51]
I will fight for my country[00:00:56]
I'll defend this land[00:00:58]
I will stare at the whites of your soldiers' eyes[00:00:59]
With this Kalishnikov in my hand[00:01:03]
When you break down the doors of my neighbors[00:01:05]
When you say that might makes right[00:01:12]
When you say you're looking for terrorists[00:01:17]
In their bedroom late at night[00:01:23]
When you torture my brother at gunpoint[00:01:26]
On his head a canvass sack[00:01:30]
All I can say to you soldier[00:01:32]
Is you'd best watch your back[00:01:34]
When you come with your tanks on our city streets[00:01:38]
And you say these streets are yours[00:01:43]
When you say you'll rebuild us with bombers[00:01:45]
And oil tankers on our shores[00:01:48]
When you have gunned down my child in Fallujah[00:01:50]
You needn't wonder why[00:01:52]
I look at you through the blades of your 'copter and say[00:01:54]
It's a good day to die[00:02:02]
