Lyrics:
The Baghdad Shuffle
Long-tailed Scorpion baking in the heat. Desert Sands shifting to the beat of the feet. From the Midwest to the Middle East, barrels on their plates, ready for the feast. Black blood of the Earth boils ‘neath the sands, so they send their young to die and kill in far-off lands.
Let’s burn the Oceans, let’s burn the Seas. Let’s burn our future in our SUVs. Kill and maim in convenience’s name until every drop is found. Do the Baghdad Shuffle ‘til we hit the ground.
G-7 cannibals around the fire. …iko, iko, with a 3rd world picnic for the funeral pyre. There’s a thorn in their side and glint in their eye, cut the moustache off and the beast will die. The UN’s not invited when they twist and hop, the oil down the desert way gotta shake it to the top.
Drown us in deception, drown us in disease. Keep us fearing phantom killers and WMDs. Keep us filling our tanks with blood until every gallon’s burned. Do the Baghdad Shuffle ‘til the world has turned.
Empires crumble and empires fall. What does an empire do with it’s back to the wall? Rome or Texas, it’s the same old lies, the figurehead postures while Democracy dies, the Moneymen rape, dollars in their eyes, until the corpses of the innocent are drawing flies.
Let’s burn the oceans, let’s burn the seas…
