"Is there a link somewhere to a site where we can check out the Earle lyric in question? sb"

Just an American boy Raised on MTV And I've seen all them kids in the soda pop ads None of them look like me. So I started looking around For a light out of the dim. And the first thing I heard That made sense was the word Muhammad peace be upon him.

Chorus: Ash hadu alla Ilaaha illallah, there is no God but God.

If my daddy could see me now Chains around my feet He don't understand sometimes a man Has got to fight for what he believes. And I believe God is great All praise to him And if I should die I'll rise up in the sky Just like Jesus peace be upon him.

Chorus: Ash-hadu alla ilaaha illallah, there is no God but God.

We came to fight the jihad Our hearts were pure and strong. And when death filled the air We all offered up prayers Prepared for our martyrdom. But Allah has some other plan Some secret not revealed Now they're dragging me back With my head in a sack To the land of the infidels.

Chorus: Ash-hadu alla ilaaha illallah, there is no God but God.
