Cover art for Lovalot lyrics by M.I.A.

what do you guys think she means by "like a Taliban trucker eatin' boiled-up yucca, Get my eyes done like I'm in a black burka"

I was wondering the same thing but I can't figure it out. Btw it's "get my eyes DOWN like I'm in a black burka" (I read it on the cd's booket).

damn it.. i need to go buy it..soon, ima change it on lyric wiki then
