1
Maybe you'll hear about me
2
When you watch the evening news
3
So I write this letter for you, my friends
4
The truth then you may choose
5
I had a good time at Oxford
6
And the world I did roam
7
When my studies were finished
8
Then I went back home
9
All I wanted were good things
10
Land and liberty
11
And all the sorts of things we learned
12
At the university
13
I'm not a fan of dictatorships
14
I'd rather say live and let live
15
But for those who would threaten my family
16
There's nothing I won't give
17
(Chorus)
18
I will fight for my country
19
I'll defend this land
20
I will stare at the whites of your soldiers' eyes
21
With this Kalishnikov in my hand
22
When you break down the doors of my neighbors
23
When you say that might makes right
24
When you say you're looking for terrorists
25
In their bedroom late at night
26
When you torture my brother at gunpoint
27
On his head a canvass sack
28
All I can say to you, soldier
29
Is you'd best watch your back
30
(Chorus)
31
When you come with your tanks on our city streets
32
And you say these streets are yours
33
When you say you'll rebuild us with bombers
34
And oil tankers on our shores
35
When you have gunned down my child in Fallujah
36
You needn't wonder why
37
I look at you through the blades of your 'copter and say
38
It's a good day to die
39
(Chorus)
