John Walker's Blues
 (Steve Earle)

 I'm just an American boy raised on MTV
 And I've seen all those kids in the soda pop ads
 But none of 'em looked like me
 So I started lookin' around for a light out of the dim
 And the first thing I heard that made sense was the word
 Of Mohammed, peace be upon him

 chorus:
 A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
 There is no God but God

 If my daddy could see me now – chains around my feet
 He don't understand that sometimes a man
 Has got to fight for what he believes
 And I believe God is great, all praise due to him
 And if I should die, I'll rise up to the sky
 Just like Jesus, peace be upon him

 chorus

 We came to fight the Jihad and our hearts were pure and strong
 As death filled the air, we all offered up prayers
 And prepared for our martyrdom
 But Allah had some other plan, some secret not revealed
 Now they're draggin' me back with my head in a sack
 To the land of the infidel

 A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
 A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
