The soldiers come and the battle is won and the statues start to fall to the ground
And everyone is in a happy mood but the reaso why they came can't be found
And I know there's nothing gained by living the same old way
But now things are out of control and the way of life is in decay
Ah Baghdad, can't wait 'til it goes away
And now's the time to settle old scores so at night you better lock your doors
'Cause now it's pay back time and if you treated him kind you'll be the first in line
And the gunfire at night tells the tale of what will eventually come around
If you were a friend of his, your loyalty could bring you down
Ah Baghdad, can't wait 'til it goes away
Mommy why are those people speaking a language that I can't understand
And Daddy, why are they carrying guns are they going to take over our land?
And Mommy, I'm scared and I don't know why the water's not running and the lights are out
And Daddy, why is that man with a gun shouting at us and why is he in our house?
Ah Baghdad, can't wait 'til it goes away
And what if they never find those WMDs?
Who could I ever trust and who could I ever believe?
How come there's no one out there who will take a stand?
It seems like their living a nightmare even without Saddam
Ah Baghdad, can't wait 'til it goes away
