Lyrics

English: Hey ole' Saddom you figured wrong / When you thought the whole world would back down / And let you take all the oil in red kuwait and plunder and spoil / Let sleeping dogs lie don't give us a reason... / No the desert ain't veitnam / And there ain't nowhere to run / And we got the real top guns
