3rd Crusade |
| King Richard came upon them |
| 3000 I am told |
| Slit their stomachs in search of jewels |
| In search of Islams gold. |
| On the road from Acre |
| They’re crucifying thieves |
| Crows are pecking at their eyes |
| While the hypocrites run free |
| I’ve been told that you’ve been bold |
| Believing in the shit that you’ve been sold |
| And I hear that you fear the way |
| a simple damn dream can disappear |
| They marched on through the seasons |
| The skies lit by burning hills |
| They gobbled up the cities |
| To the sound of raging bells |
| When they reached the Holy Land |
| They gave their thanks to God |
| They hammered on the Temple stones |
| And crushed the filthy mob. |
| I’ve been told that you’ve been bold |
| Believing in the shit that you’ve been sold |
| And I hear that you fear the way |
| a simple damn dream can disappear |
| The rich they still get richer |
| The poor still spill their blood |
| The poppies grow in Kandahar |
| And the oil still flows in Saud. |
