Artist/Band: Steve Earle
Lyrics for Song: John Walker's Blues
Lyrics for Album: Just An American Boy [2003]



I'm just an American boy raised on MTV

And I've seen all those kids in the soda pop ads

But none of 'em looked like me

So I started lookin' around for a light out of the dim

And the first thing I heard that made sense was the word

Of Mohammed, peace be upon him



chorus:

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah

There is no God but God



If my daddy could see me now – chains around my feet

He don't understand that sometimes a man

Has got to fight for what he believes

And I believe God is great, all praise due to him



And if I should die, I'll rise up to the sky

Just like Jesus, peace be upon him



chorus



We came to fight the Jihad and our hearts were pure and strong

As death filled the air, we all offered up prayers

And prepared for our martyrdom

But Allah had some other plan, some secret not revealed

Now they're draggin' me back with my head in a sack

To the land of the infidel



A shadu la ilaha illa Allah

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
