Bouncing Souls Letter From Iraq Lyrics

Letter From Iraq Lyrics





The hot Sunni sun 

passes Moaning Mosque Spire.

B-company's pinned down

and under heavy fire.

Underneath the palms

there's improvised bombs.

Because Jihad Johnny

Knows- Yankee is a liar.



[Chorus:]

An eye for an eye.

And blood for Texas Tea.

At the call to prayer

Al Queda's on his knees.

Isac vs. Ishmael. 

Allah vs. Christ.

[...]</i> on the offense

picking up the beat.



There's celebratory fire

And a purple thumb vote.

Tom cruise is on a sortie

from a gulf love boat.

Smart bombs are a coming, 

See the children running.

The dead are all laughing, 

But we don't get the joke.



[Chorus]



They lost another friend today.

It's getting rough over there.

They say the whole things fucked.

I wish the boys were back.

At least I know they're still alive.

Another letter from Iraq.



Presents full of Christmas loot.

All that's left of Bullet Billy- 

is a pair of bloody boots. 

His mom is on the phone,

His girl is all alone.

We all stand in the rain 

for a twenty-one gun salute.
