Ayatollah You So
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
t's day number 102
it's number 101 if you're with a hindu
the shah really took us for a ride
he's leaving us to defend our national pride
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
stick around and wait for day 103
while the president's making plans
the russians just invaded afghanistan
the world's turning red and we're looking green
and we don't even have an olympic team
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
don't ask him cause he don't know
so we're going into their back yard
helicopters falling down, down, down, down
they don't even have to sound an alarm
another chopper's falling down, down, down, down
now it's day 365
no one in america is left alive
the yankee prisoners are left to tell the tale
it's hard to recognise them cause they're wearing a veil
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
ayatollah you so (khomeni)
there's no iran anymore
send them the shah
send them his ma
i can't drive my car
someone send them the shah
send helicopters in like it was mash
and turn six soldiers into corned beef hash
ayatollah you so
