sonnerie téléphone portable pour This is baghdad
Video clip

Everything's broken in the birthplace of law
As generation two tries on his tragic flaw
America's might under desert sun
I saw her frightened eyes behind the muzzle of her gun

Uranium dust and the smell of decay
Sewage in the street where the kids run and play
Not enough morphine and not enough gauze
Firefight in darkness like snapping of jaws
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad

You couldn't see the blast-the morning was bright-
But some radiant energy flared up into the light
Like the sky throwing its hands up in a horrified dismay
Or the souls of the dead as they sped on their way

Carbombed and carjacked and kidnapped and shot
How do you like it, this freedom we brought
We packed all the ordnance but the thing we forgot
Was a plan in case it didn't turn out quite like we thought
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
This is baghdad
