Ike Reilly
The War On The Terror And The Drugs
(Spoken)
SHOOTER: Hello Ike
IKE: Hey Shooter, you gonna slum with me a little bit and sing this song?
SHOOTER: I imagine my name being associated with this will bring this record to number one
IKE: Oh yeah, with a bullet, with a bullet. Throw this dog a bone
SHOOTER: What's this song about anyway?
IKE: Ah, it's about wants, and needs, and death, and sex, and love, and lust, and kids, and mostly the night you and I fought the war on the terror and the drugs together
SHOOTER: No shit?
IKE: No shit
SHOOTER: You go first

I needed a girl like I always need a girl
Cause you're weak and you're lonely in love (Oh yeah)
Just for the evening, won't mind that I'm leaving
But she'll help you fight the war on the terror and the drugs

We'll fight that war on the terror
Yeah, that war on the terror
The war on the terror and the drugs, oh yeah
We'll fight that war on the terror
Yeah, the war on the terror
The war on the terror and the drugs, oh yeah

(Spoken)
IKE: You were there, man, you know
You walked off the bandstand
Didn't you ask the man
If he knew where you could find one? (Oh yeah)
He said, "Take the highest road low
You get pulled over, don't blow
You'll find all kinds of girls mixing terror and drugs"
Well there'll be old ones to lean on
Young ones to cream on
And crazy stunning ones you'd waste all of your dreams on
But the one with the arm I didn't mind being seen on
Brushed the hair out of her face and started singing about dreams

All right, one, two, three

She said, "Meet me out back when you're done with your show
And I'll let you dump all your dreams down into my throat
I'll meet you out back when your dancing is done
And we'll fight your war on the terror and drugs"

We'll fight that war on the terror
Yeah, the war on the terror
The war on the terror and the drugs, oh yeah

She said, "You look like you come from way out of town
You got that big-city-traveled-money-weather walk down"
She said, "Tell me what you want, but before you decide
Tell me the last dream that, boy, made you cry"
Well I dreamed that my children could not catch their breath
And they were falling off a windowsill straight to their deaths
And try as I could, I could never catch them
Before they landed and cracked open their heads
And out of their heads leaked laughter not lies
Mixed in the flower beds with sweet lullabies
Sung by their mother with hope and with love
But I couldn't find no terror, and I couldn't find no drugs
(No, he couldn't find no terror, and he couldn't find no drugs)

Couldn't find that war on the terror
Yeah, no war on the terror
No war on the terror and the drugs, oh yeah
Couldn't find no war on the terror
Yeah, no war on the terror
No war on the terror and the drugs, oh yeah

(Spoken)
IKE: You know what I need, Shooter

You needed a girl like you always need a girl
Cause I'm weak and I'm lonely but in love, oh yeah
Just for the evening, won't mind that I'm leaving
And she'll help me fight that war on the terror and the drugs
Yes, she'll help you fight your little war on the terror and the drugs
Yep, she'll take all the terror
And I will take on the drugs
(Spoken)
IKE: She can take on the terror, we'll take on the drugs
SHOOTER: I'll take all the drugs
IKE: Ah, you take all the drugs
SHOOTER: Thanks Ike
IKE: You got it Shooter
