BLACKWATER ‘07

Based on Black Water by Patrick Simmons (The Doobie Brothers)

Well, I GOT TO IRAQ and she’s ready for FIGHTIN’
MESOPOTAMIA callin’ my name
CONTRACTS ARE jumpin'
That GRAVY TRAIN RUNNIN’
BLACKWATER keeps rollin’ on past just the same

Old BLACKWATER, keep on rollin’
MERCENARY moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
(X3)
Yeah, keep on shinin’ your light
Gonna make everything, AL-SISTANI
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain’t SHOT no SUNNIS
’cause I WAS OUT IN THE BOONIES ALL DAY

Well, if IRANIANS, I don’t care
Don’t make no difference to me
TAKE OUT that streetcar that’s going TO town
I’M IMMUNE TO LEGAL PROSECUTION
I GET DRUNK AND I KILL FOR SPORT
And I’ll be SHOOTIN’ ev’rybody DOWN all ’roun’

Old BLACKWATER, keep on rollin’
MESOPOTAMIAN moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
(X3)
Keep on shinin’ your light
Gonna make everything, AL-MALIKI
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain’t SHOT NO SHIA
’cause I WAS DOWN BY THE PIER ALL DAY

I’d like to HIT some funky CIVILIAN VEHICLES
BABYLON’LL take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty SADR
Come and dance with SISTANI all night long
I’M IMMUNE TO LEGAL PROSECUTION
BABYLON’LL take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty BADR
Come and dance with MALIKI all night long
I want to ………… you all night long
