Baghdad Lyrics
In your plane in the blue sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq
The president said let it ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
Warrior, the time bombs about to go
What will you feel
Will you ever wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye
The captain kill or die
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
Great Satan
Our flags are burning
Soon America may find
It's young men in the sand
Where the casualty
Is just a number
In Iraq
The president said let it ride
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
What will you feel
Will you ever wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
It's young men in the sand
Where the casualty
Is just a number
In Iraq
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

neotemplar - you think it's "they" who started it? You clearly don't have a lot of knowledge of history. You think all the Iraqis are barbarians? You're clearly a moron. And the USA can claim far more credit for a "wide majority of the world's problems" than Iraq. Indeed the Americans backed Saddam Hussein's rise to power and were still supoprting him even when it was clear that he was gassing Kurds. It's only when he went against American interests that they turned against him.
neotemplar - I'd say it's you that "needs to find something else to whine about"
I definatly like tehran a bit better. Baghdad is too slow and the lyric change dosn't work very well.
This song is actually ''Tehran'' with new words. The most ironic part is ''You will be damned/Make your last stand....''
They should re-release this song now.Someone might actually listen to it. aka. Mr President
no man, teran was actually the edit of this song.. they had to re-record it after the gulf war.
My cousin just came back from Iraq, and he told me about the people he killed, he was a marine sniper, and that reminded me of the part in this song,"If the man that's in your sights ever kissed his girl goodbye"
Alcoholicpanda >> this song is now on the compilation Rock Against Bush Vol 1 that FatWreckChords just put out.
I suggest everyone pick it up.
Aye on that one qeekusa ita a really good album.
The original version of "Tethran". And, it's also the first single the band recorded.
