Steve Earle - John Walker's Blues Lyrics
(Steve Earle)I'm just an American boy raised on MTVAnd I've seen all those kids in the soda pop adsBut none of 'em looked like meSo I started lookin' around for a light out of the dimAnd the first thing I heard that made sense was the wordOf Mohammed, peace be upon himchorus:A shadu la ilaha illa AllahThere is no God but GodIf my daddy could see me now  chains around my feetHe don't understand that sometimes a manHas got to fight for what he believesAnd I believe God is great, all praise due to himAnd if I should die, I'll rise up to the skyJust like Jesus, peace be upon himchorusWe came to fight the Jihad and our hearts were pure and strongAs death filled the air, we all offered up prayersAnd prepared for our martyrdomBut Allah had some other plan, some secret not revealedNow they're draggin' me back with my head in a sackTo the land of the infidelA shadu la ilaha illa AllahA shadu la ilaha illa Allah
