Chalk in the riverbed was deposited
By the ocean as it boiled off
Encased in calcium carbonate
We could drown or we could solder

I climbed the ranks of militiamen and the Sadrites
And my parents felt a cautious pride
And disregarded Shari'a Law
And put the Tigris in a trench now

Give us rain
Give us rain
Give us rain
Give us rain
Give us rain
Give us rain
Send us water

Send us trucks
Send us trucks
Send us trucks
Send us trucks
Send us trucks
Send us tanks
Send us IEDs
Send us planes
Send us planes
Send us planes
Send us planes
Send us planes
Send us planes
Is the sky clear enough?
Send us dust storms

(Hey!)

Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar

The sand has lowered the vitamin saturation point
Put a straw under the bridge and suck
We made a pact with the Arrakeen
And we built ourselves a filter

The city hydro's undrinkable
Shattered cinderblocks
Are their favorite things to talk about
We saw your face in The Guardian
And it raised the circulation

Send us rain
Please transmit
Please receive our dumb prayers, telepath
Send a flood
Send us an avalanche
Send us cold
Send us ice
Send us meteorites
Send us snow
Send us hail
Send us high speed rail

We can pay
We should pay
We will pay
We insist
No defaults
But we must get down to Chechnya

We defend
We fight back
We plant bombs under tracks
We skip church
All the monotheists sing
Allahu Akbar

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, ooh)
Allahu Akbar

And the Inuit sang
And the Zionists sang
Allahu Akbar
And the economists sang
And astronomers sang
And the anarchists sang
Allahu Akbar

And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
Allahu Akbar

And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
Allahu Akbar

And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
Allahu Akbar

And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
And the atheists sang
Allahu Akbar

God is great
Allahu Akbar
