Chalk in the riverbed
B Fb
Was deposited by the ocean as it boiled off

Encased in calcium carbonate

We could drown or we could solder

I climbed the ranks of militiamen

And the Sadrites, and my parents felt a cautious pride
Fb
And disregarded Shari'a Law
B
And put the Tigris in a trench now
[Pre-Chorus]

Send us trucks, send us tanks, send us IEDs

Send us planes, send us planes, is the sky clear enough?

The sand has lowered the vitamin
B Fb
Saturation point, put a straw under the bridge and suck

We made a pact with the Arakeen

And we built ourselves a filter

The city hydro's undrinkable

Shattered cinderblocks are their favorite things to talk about

We saw your face in the Guardian

And it raised the circulation

Send us snow, send us hail, send us high speed rail
Fbsus2 G#m7
We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we insist

No defaults but we must get down to Chechnya

We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under tracks
F#
We skip church, all the monotheists
