Dan Bern - Talkin' Al Kida Blues video free download

from the "Swastika" EP

Lyrics:

It was a beautiful day in New York town

Folks jogging, biking, walking 'round

When a couple of airplanes came around

Hit the big towers, knocked 'em down

Worst disaster on US soil ever!

'Course, there's the Indians... a few million slaves... Enron... Anyway, it was worse than Pearl Harbor!

President W. was flying around

Far away from New York town

When finally he came on TV,

He said "Why do they hate us? -- 'cause we're free."

Free to round up dark-skinned bearded guys... Free to detain anyone who might have ties to Osama... Al Qaida... Somewhere in Cleveland there's some guy named Al Kida -- K - I - D - A... He's freaking out!

Congress quickly rang the bell

And tried to fight those terrorist cells

With laws designed to never let

Our country fall to a terrorist threat

Anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who might be a terrorist -- is a terrorist!

There's terrorists using your email name

Sitting next to you at the ballgame

Terrorists hiding in your bed

Terrorists borrowing your head

Never seen so many terrorists... I had to turn in my own Mom... you know what they say... unpaid parking tickets aids terrorists

There's laws for this and laws for that

To keep those terrorists under wraps

Some folks disagree with these

And talk of civil liberties

But it's like the Attorney General says... If in times like these you can talk about individual freedom... you're probably a terrorist

If you're planning air travel soon

You might want to think about a weather balloon

Nothing gets past those X-Ray Peekers

And don't carry nothing in your sneakers

Sorry for all the delays... if you want to get there so dang fast you oughta take the train... "I have never been so insulted"... "Shut up, Dale."

Well India and Pakistan

Are thinking of trading nuclear bombs

Israel and the PLO --

Suicide's the way to go

Meanwhile the lessons of 9-1-1 are clear... Let's blow up the Middle East... Smoking marijuana aids terrorists... Cuba's our enemy unless we

need a prison camp... John Walker Lindh could be your kid unless we get an economic stimulus package... And let's get that guy in Cleveland - AL KIDA!
