The Mujahideen fight for their way of life They simply want to practice their religion Follow their religion And live in peace The Soviets have no right to invade And tell them how to live Rocket propelled grenades Were effectivey used at the Kandahar pass Soviet tanks were sitting ducks They met their end Guerilla fighters Walk and fight in the mountains They mastered the ambush The Battle of Arghandab The Soviets attacked An entrenched Mujahideen The Afghan government forces often defected to the resistance Some Soviet aircraft Were shot down by Stinger missles Provided by the U.S. The Russian people were lied to About what their military was doing there They were told they were nation building The war caused around one million civilian deaths And the emigration of 5 to 10 million Afghans

Mujahideen Fought Bravely
The Mujahideen fight for their way of life They simply want to practice their religion Follow their religion And live in peace The Soviets have no right to invade And tell them how to live Rocket propelled grenades Were effectivey used at the Kandahar pass Soviet tanks were sitting ducks They met their end Guerilla fighters Walk and fight in the mountains They mastered the ambush The Battle of Arghandab The Soviets attacked An entrenched Mujahideen The Afghan government forces often defected to the resistance Some Soviet aircraft Were shot down by Stinger missles Provided by the U.S. The Russian people were lied to About what their military was doing there They were told they were nation building The war caused around one million civilian deaths And the emigration of 5 to 10 million Afghans
