The Ballad of John Walker Lindh (Kill Me)
ROY EDROSO

Since that Afghan war began
Things have gotten out of hand
Paranoia sweeps the land
You might say
For all peaceniks past and present
And folks of Arab descent
Things haven't been too pleasant
Till this day
But I'm here to save their bacon
'Cause since Kandahar was taken
And they set my ass to bakin'
In that box
Left and right cooperate
'Cause they share one common hate
For John Walker, the world's new Desert Fox
Kill me, kill me,
Let your righteous bullets fill me
Poison gas or poison pill me
What togetherness there will be
When you kill me
I tried yoga, I tried hip-hop
When I made that final flip-flop
And I took that Arab hilltop
Poised to fight
I thought I'd reunite the land
From my bunker in the sand
In one brotherhood of man --
And I was right!
Kill me, kill me
Come on, citizens, and bill me
For the whole Bin Laden kill-spree
Though Osama was my Trilby
A true American I'll still be
Let the whole world point and snigger
Call me "traitor" and "sand-wigger"
Till John Ashcroft pulls the trigger to
Kill me
