Guano-tanamo Blues

After the non-uniformed, extra-legal combatants were picked up, interred at Guantanamo Bay facilities, and decided yesterday to smear their floor with feces, urine and other slippery stuff in order to help them LURE guards in on a pretext of stopping one of them from suiciding; then attacking the guards when they sought to act compassionately, Joe Denver was moved to write this song lamenting some of the detainees being shipped back to their country of origin:

Leaving on a Jihad Plane!

Leaving on a Jihad Plane
Joe Denver
all their bags were packed, they were ready to go
to mecca, there to worship Mo
from my cellblock I couldn’t say goodbye
but the guards my stones break every morn
and sleep deprive me with a horn
i'm ready
i'm so seething i could die.

so hang me, break out with me
tell me that you'll die with me
hold me like a bomb belt, then we’ll blow
'cause they’re leaving on a jet plane
to go and fight jihad again
oh, Allah, we’ll miss them so

there's so many times my guard was down
left notes we passed laying around
told my interrogators every thing
every place i went, and was told to do
every time I tried to bomb my shoe
I should have just let that goddamn cell phone ring

so hide me and lie for me
tell me that you'll die for me
hold me like a bomb belt, then we’ll blow
they left us on a jet plane
to go and fight jihad again
Why should THEY be allowed to go?

now the time has come, here’s what ya do:
just pretend that you are killing you
we’ve got our home-made weapons, by the way
dream about the days to come
when Guantanamo won’t be our home
when Americans must pray 5 times a day

I’ll hang me, then fight for we
the guards I’m gonna bait for we
hold me like a bomb belt, then we’ll blow
'cause they left us, on the jihad plane
to go and fight Jihad again
oh, damn, why is this so?

they’re leaving us, on the jihad plane
to go and fight the West again
oh, babe, why can’t we go?
for the sake of Mo
