Lyrics
to 'John Walker's Blues' by Steve Earle
I'm
just an American boy raised on MTV
And
I've seen all those kids in the soda pop ads
But
none of 'em looked like me
So
I started lookin' around for a light out of the dim
And
the first thing I heard that made sense was the word
Of
Mohammed, peace be upon him
A
shadu la ilaha illa Allah
There
is no God but God
If
my daddy could see me now - chains around my feet
He
don't understand that sometimes a man
Has
to fight for what he believes
And
I believe God is great all praise due to him
And
if I should die I'll rise up to the sky
Just
like Jesus, peace be upon him
We
came to fight the Jihad and our hearts were pure and strong
As
death filled the air we all offered up prayers
And
prepared for our martyrdom
But
Allah had some other plan some secret not revealed
Now
they're draggin' me back with my head in a sack
To
the land of the infidel
