Ayatolah

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From outta exile You come back in style To chase away the Shah And you seize power Then set up a firing squad Shooting people like you mad Shah was real horrible But you much more wicked and terrible [Chorus] Ayatollah, what you [?]? You goin' to hang all dead in jail? And hostages that you take That is a serious and a crucial mistake Ayatollah, hide your trail You've a tiger by the tail Sooner or later gets untied I am satisfied There'll be no place on earth you can hide [Verse 2] You ban everything Pеople enjoyin' No more rum drinkin' No morе love makin' Young people don't like old-fashioned So they want to go modern But that you get upset And the only punishment you know is death [Chorus] Ayatollah, what you [?]? You goin' to hang all dead in jail? And hostages that you take That is a serious and a crucial mistake Ayatollah, hide your trail You've a tiger by the tail Sooner or later gets untied I am satisfied There'll be no place on earth you can hide [Verse 3] Twenty-three billion You want in yuh hand But Ronald Reagan Is a stubborn man He see you as a barbarian Takin' hostage for ransom Don't care what scheme you contrive Ronald Reagan will skin you alive [Chorus] Ayatollah, what you [?]? You goin' to hang all dead in jail? And hostages that you take Is a serious and a crucial mistake Ayatollah, hide your trail You've a tiger by the tail Sooner or later gets untied I am satisfied There'll be no place on earth you can hide [Verse 4] When man ain't have wife He can't enjoy life Without a sweetheart Happiness can't start Get some little Ayatollahs Little [?] With twelve of them in yuh yard You bound to learn how to love and stop actin' mad! [Chorus] Ayatollah, what you [?]? You goin' to hang all dead in jail? Them hostages that you take Is a serious and a crucial mistake Ayatollah, hide your trail You've a tiger by the tail Sooner or later gets untied I am satisfied There'll be no place on earth you could hide
