The Baghdad Dream

(альбом: Strange Names & New Sensations - 2007)

It's enough to make you scream
What a well-mismanaged scheme
Mr. Rumsfeld called the shots
And we all get what we've got
Ah, the Baghdad dream

It's enough to make you ill
As it goes the way, it will
Can you calculate the cost?
What's been gained and what's been lost
Ah, the Baghdad Dream

Is your armor qualified to protect you
While you ride down the [Sound of an explosion going off]
Take the traffic off the road
So a car bomb don't explode in the [Sound of an explosion going off]
Is there hope in all of this
Can Iraqis co-exist in the [Sound of an explosion going off]
Is it rotten to the core
Is there nothing else but more of the [Sound of an explosion going off]
Do we hafta stay and stay
Can we ever get away from the [Sound of an explosion going off]

Is it freedom we've increased or a madder Middle East
What the [Sound of an explosion going off]
Mr. Bush can't show remorse
He can only stay the course of his [Sound of an explosion going off]
Stick a sticker on your car
For the soldier off at war in the [Sound of an explosion going off]
It's a holiday at home
As they soldier on and on in the [Sound of an explosion going off]

What a long November
With the leaves all fallen down
What a cold December
With the snowflakes on the ground
What a blue, blue Christmas in a decorated town
What a sad, old New Year
When your loved one ain't around
Ain't around

Ah, the Baghdad Dream
Ah, the Baghdad Dream
Ah, the Baghdad Dream
