This is not a party
Party just for you
We just wanna live
Live for more than a few
We’re the only terror
Label us the fame
We just want the freedom
Keep asking in vein
This is not a party
Party just for you
We just wanna live
Live for more than a few
We’re the only terror
Label us the fame
We just want the freedom
Keep asking in vein
This is Iraq
Look at us blowin’ up
Nobody showin’ up
Nobody ownin’ up
Hathal Iraq (woo) – This is Iraq (woo)
Bedaytak Akhirtak – (Your start is the end of you)
Jawazak Akhirtak (Wein Jawazak?) – (Your passport will finish you)

Hathal Iraq (yeah, yeah) — This is Iraq (yeah, yeah)
Bedaytak Akhirtak (ayy) — (Your start is the end of you) (ayy)
Jawazak Akhirtak (Wein Jawazak?) – (Your passport will finish you)
Bas deer balak lak latighlat — (Still be careful though, don’t mess up)
Look how they freakin’ out (qizirqit)

That’s the news (yeah)
Media blackout (woo, Black)
Then it’s lights out
Keep sniffin’ the tar,
Wi lif el dolma ya hmar (Itzaqnab) – (And roll that dolma you donkey)
Barrels on barrels on barrels (barrels!)
Food for barrels and barrels (barrels!)
Halliburtin the demolished
Delivered a mission accomplished (bush)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, tell somebody
You go tell somebody
The U.S taught me
Get your crystal, Sand man
Get your crystal, Sand man
Get your crystal, Sand man
Get your crystal, Sand man
