TALIBAN GIRL

I don't want to be afraid anymore. No, I don't want to be afraid anymore
 
Dear, my little "Taliban girl", we met one hot late June night, under the Baghdad moonlight
With all the fear, hate and violence in the world,
Love-grenade in hand, and you just pulled the pin - blow up my heart again
So here, my little "Taliban girl", take these dog-tags for a start, so I don't get a purple heart
I've never been one for prayer, can you give a life of sin a whirl?
Blow me up again, blow me up again...
 
I want to dream, but I can't believe where we are when shooting guns seem to take the place of shooting stars
I want to sing with you happily-ever-after in a world of peace,
When I met you I swore I'd always make love, not war
 
It's so clear, my little "Taliban girl", they'll kill us both when they see that we're in love,
the way life should be
Never been one for prayer, can you give a life of sin a whirl?
Blow me up again, blow me up again...
 
I want to dream, but I can't believe where we are when shooting guns seem to take the place of shooting stars
I want to sing with you happily-ever-after in a world of peace,
When I met you I swore I'd always make love, not war
 
So dear, my little "al-Queda chick", my little insurgent, I'll be your infidel, you be my terrorist
But I just want your kiss, call me "El Ray" cause I never miss
Blow up my world again, blow me up again!
 
I don't want to be afraid anymore. No, I don't want to be afraid anymore
 
All we are saying is give peace a chance
