Dirtbag in a Cave (Goodbye Osama Bin Laden)
Song starts at 00:37
Please excuse the inaccuracies in the lyrics. This was still a developing story when I got to work on the song.
Original lyrics by TheLateBoyScout, sung to the tune of Elton John's Candle in the Wind.
Goodbye Osama Bin Laden,
though I never shot at you myself
you managed to evade our troops
while your friends got blown to hell.
We beat down every Pashtun door,
we looked under every rock and poppy too.
FBI's most wanted man,
but you just kept slipping through.
And it seems to me, you lived your life
like a dirtbag in a cave
Never knowing when they'd blow your teeth
straight though your brain
And I would've loved to barbecue you
over coals of apple wood
but a US bomb just did the job
that the Pakistani's never could.
Mountain life is rough,
sitting in a cave just glad to be alive.
Your only friends were terrorists
and a tape recorder from '85.
Well even though you're dead,
Jihadis are gonna cheer and worship you.
but Satan is your landlord now,
and Osama, the rent is due.
And it seems to me, you lived your life
like a dirtbag in a cave
Never knowing when the Devil would give you a shave
And I would've loved to connect you
to my city's power grid
but a US bomb just did the job
that the Afghan's never did.
Goodbye Osama Bin Laden,
though I never shot at you myself
you managed to evade us all
while your friends got blown to hell.
Goodbye mastermind
of the saddest day America's been through.
3000 voices witness now
so farewell, auf wiedersehen, and adieu.
And it seems to me, you lived your life
like a dirtbag in a cave
Never knowing when they'd blow your teeth
straight though your brain
And I would've loved to barbecue you
over coals of Apple wood
but a US bomb just did the job
that the UN never could.
A US bomb just did the job
that the rest of us wish we did.

This is a live performance of a parody song that I wrote. The lyrics are mine and the music - played on guitar by me - is an adaptation of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind". This performance qualifies as a parody, and therefore does not breach copyright.
HAAAAAAA!!! I heard it was a seal team though! Either way, this was damn funny. It's one of those things where I want to see the body and see a DNA test though! Good video!

@Georgiapine2A Eh... the story was still developing when I cranked the lyrics out. Oh well.
