Verse
Bb
Chalk in the riverbed
F Bb
Was deposited by the ocean as it boiled off
Bb
Encased in calcium carbonate
F
We could drown or we could solder
Bb
I climbed the ranks of militiamen
F Bb
And the Sadrites, and my parents felt a cautious pride
Bb
And disregarded Shari'a Law
F
And put the Tigris in a trench now
Pre-Chorus
Bb2 Dm7
Give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, give us rain,
C
Give us rain, give us rain, send us water
Bb2 Dm7
Send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks,
C
Send us trucks, send us tanks, send us IEDs
Bb2 Dm7
Send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, send us planes,
C
Send us planes, send us planes, is the sky clear enough?
Bb2 Dm7 C
Send us dust storms, woah-
Bb F
Allahu Akbar
Verse
Bb
The sand has lowered the vitamin
F Bb
Saturation point, put a straw under the bridge and suck
Bb
We made a pact with the Arakeen

And we built ourselves a filter

The city hydro's undrinkable

Shattered cinderblocks are their favorite things to talk about
Bb
We saw your face in the Guardian
F
And it raised the circulation
Pre-Chorus
Bb2
Send us rain, please transmit

Please receive our dumb prayers,

Send us cold, send us ice, send us meteorites

Send us snow, send us hail, send us high speed rail
Bb2 Dm7
We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we insist
C
No defaults but we must get down to Chechnya
Bb2 Dm7
We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under tracks
C
We skip church, all the monotheists
Bb F
Sing: "Allahu Akbar!"

And the Inuit sang

"Allahu Akbar!"

And the economists sang

And the astronomers sang
C Bb
"Allahu Akbar!"

God is greatest!

God is greatest!

God is greatest!

"Allahu Akbar!"
