I'm just an American boy, raised on MTV 
And I've seen all the kids in the soda pop ads 
But none of 'em look like me. 
So I started lookin' around for a light out of the dim 
And the first thing I heard that made sense was the word 
Of Mohammed, peace be upon him 

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah 
There is no God but God 

If my daddy could see me now â?? chains around my feet 
He don't understand that sometimes a man's 
Got to fight for what he believes 
And I believe God is great, all praise due to him 
And if I should die, I'll rise up to the sky 
Just like Jesus, peace be upon him 

We came to fight the Jihad, and our hearts were pure and strong. 
As death filled the air, we all offered up prayers 
And prepared for our martyrdom. 
But Allah had some other plan, some secret not revealed 
Now they're draggin' me back with my head in a sack 
To the land of the infidel. 

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah 
A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
