Beast of Baghdad

Oh ,tyrant king of Babylon

Have you come by any sense

Who wages war on sons of Zion

With inadequate air defense

 

Toy soldiers of the eagle

Will come as dogs of war

Their guise being benevolence

Their true gift blood and gore

 

So it seems your problem is oil

Not consummation of lnnocence

Go plant your people in thirsty soil

Then propagandize self defense

 

For you are the beast of Baghdad

Your very seed affronts Mann and his kind

Another  American jackal  gone bad

And oh, what a jackal did we find

 

Now we sit glued to a TV set

Watching the towers crumble and fall

When sleeping with despots ya get what you get

Just part of the cost when america stands tall. Hy
