You wrote me a letter

And this is how it went:

It said, "We're just backing up the supply lines
F Am A4 Am
The first division's crossin' the Nile

Through the rushes and up the side
G#m
And into the machine gun fire"

Uranium tips, night vision cruise missiles

I rode an Abrams

And we stopped in Bethlehem

They made the answers here

headscarf with my gun

trench out of my soul

You have raised the bar

Goliath rides an oil drum raft

Through a cyclone in my ear drums
