Emperor X
"Allahu Akbar"
From the album "Western Teleport" (2011)
[Intro]
Bb F
[Verse]
BbChalk in the riverbed
Was Fdeposited by the ocean as it boiled Bboff
BbEncased in calcium carbonate
We could Fdrown or we could solder
BbI climbed the ranks of militiamen
And the FSadrites, and my parents felt a cautious Bbpride
BbAnd disregarded Shari'a Law
And put the FTigris in a trench now
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus2Give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, give us Dm7rain,
Give us rain, give us Crain, send us water
Bbsus2Send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, send us Dm7trucks,
Send us trucks, send us Ctanks, send us IEDs
Bbsus2Send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, send us Dm7planes,
Send us planes, send us Cplanes, is the sky clear enough?
Bbsus2Send us dust storms, woah- Dm7 C
[Chorus]
BbAllahu Akbar F
[Verse]
BbThe sand has lowered the vitamin
SatuFration point, put a straw under the bridge and Bbsuck
BbWe made a pact with the Arakeen
And we Fbuilt ourselves a filter
BbThe city hydro's undrinkable
Shattered Fcinderblocks are their favorite things to talk aBbbout
BbWe saw your face in the Guardian
And it Fraised the circulation
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus2Send us rain, please transmit
Please receive our dumb Dm7prayers,
Telepath, send a Cflood, send us an avalanche
Bbsus2Send us cold, send us ice, send us meteoDm7rites
Send us snow, send us Chail, send us high speed rail
Bbsus2We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we Dm7insist
No defaults but we Cmust get down to Chechnya
Bbsus2We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under Dm7tracks
We skip church, all the Cmonotheists
[Chorus]
BbSing: "Allahu Akbar!" F
BbAnd the Inuit sang
And the DmZionists sang:
"ACllahu Akbar!" Bb
BbAnd the economists sang
And the astBbronomers sang
And the Dmanarchists sang:
"ACllahu Akbar!" Bb
BbGod is greatest!
BbGod is greatest!
DmGod is greatest!
"ACllahu Akbar!" Bb
