Emperor X - Allahu Akbar lyrics

Chalk in the riverbed 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 And disregarded Shari'a Law And put the Tigris in a trench now Give us rain Send us water Send us trucks Send us tanks Send us IEDs Send us planes Is the sky clear enough? Send us dust storms Allahu Akbar The sand has lowered the vitamin Saturation point Put a straw under the bridge and s** 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 rain Please transmit Please receive our dumb prayers, telepath Send a flood Send us an avalanche Send us cold Send us ice Send us meteorites Send us snow Send us hail Send us high speed rail 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 We skip church All the monotheists sing: "Allahu Akbar!" And the Inuit sang And the Zionists sang: "Allahu Akbar!" And the economists sang And the astronomers sang And the anarchists sang: "Allahu Akbar!" And the atheists sang: "Allahu Akbar!" God is great Allahu Akbar
