Great pharaoh of today
Junked up a modern-day crusade
Oh what a clever charade
Great Western garden states
Break laws to keep the people down
A self elected clown
Take the children of the nation
Offer them an education
Life or death is no vacation
On a covert operation to
Do what they tell you to do
[Chorus:]
Put em in a uniform
Start c**ling the herd
Orient the ordnance
Start c**ling the herd
Religion holds instruction
To be a weapon of mass distraction
Soon they'll make a martyr of you
Engage take the flak
Stretched out on a rack by the pool
For a barrel of crude
Holy mission of atrition
Politicians coalition
Are you going? Yes I am
I'll see you in Afghanistan in June
Marching in a platoon
Junked up a modern-day crusade
Oh what a clever charade
Great Western garden states
Break laws to keep the people down
A self elected clown
Take the children of the nation
Offer them an education
Life or death is no vacation
On a covert operation to
Do what they tell you to do
[Chorus:]
Put em in a uniform
Start c**ling the herd
Orient the ordnance
Start c**ling the herd
Religion holds instruction
To be a weapon of mass distraction
Soon they'll make a martyr of you
Engage take the flak
Stretched out on a rack by the pool
For a barrel of crude
Holy mission of atrition
Politicians coalition
Are you going? Yes I am
I'll see you in Afghanistan in June
Marching in a platoon
