(Expletive deleted) around the middle east
Always thought I’d do what I please
Do what I please
With Hezbollah and Hamas guys
The kind of guys to terrorize the Jews
Terrorize the Jews

And I ran
Iran in my own way
I just ran
Iran all night and day
Couldn’t get in my way

A cloud appears above my head
A bomb or bolt of lightning comes right through
Something comes right through
The cloud is moving nearer still
Seventy-two virgins come in view
Many virgins in view

And I ran
Iran in my own way
I just ran
Iran all night and day
Couldn’t get in my way

Reached out a hand to touch a face
They slowly disappeared from my view
Disappeared from view
Reached out a hand to try again
But the bomb or lightning strikes me through
Strikes me through

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I couldn’t get away

Not bad, I enjoyed that…I love these kinds of parodies!

And… it is a pretty good one-hit-wonder song…:)

Thanks! Yeah, it’s a pretty good song, it was part of Rush’s “bumper” music...

Qom on, man!
