Song | Baghdad Knights |
Artist | Lee Hazlewood |
Album | Cake or Death |
A soldier was sent | |
made to go and he went | |
to exist on the outskirts of hell. | |
And he wrote a letter to someone | |
wrote sometimes we fight | |
sometimes we run | |
it's just like playing football | |
with a gun. | |
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh | |
Those Baghdad Knights! | |
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh | |
Those Baghdad Knights! | |
And the soldiers they stay | |
shoot to kill and then pray | |
they soon leave the outskirts of hell. | |
And they write their letters to loved ones | |
write somethimes we fight | |
sometimes we run | |
just like playing football | |
with a gun. | |
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh | |
Those Baghdad Knights! | |
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh | |
Those Baghdad Knights! | |
And when the sun fades away | |
at the end of the day | |
and the sand in your mind starts to cool | |
the stars starts to shine | |
and they play tricks on your mind | |
`cause you brought your gun to school | |
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh | |
Those Baghdad Knights! | |
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh | |
Those Baghdad Knights! |
