Lyrics:
"Get It Right"
I've been told that to get what you want
You just gotta give what you can
But I know for what I want it don't come easy as that
(They say,) "Look out, boy
Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then."
But I'll look out the window
Then look in the mirror at the same old me again


Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I never will

Do you think you'd sell your soul
To just have one thing to turn out right?
For the thousandth time you turn and find
That it just makes no difference to try
Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself
There's got to be a better way
Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling
Dream of brighter days


No way out
Same old stuff always drags me down
No way out
Never gonna get it

No way out

"Hey Joe"
Hey Joe,
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe,
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around with another man,
Goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around on me,

Hey Joe,
I heard that you shot your old lady down,
Hey Joe,
I heard that you shot your old lady down,

Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town

Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
I took out my gun,
Then I shot her!

I shot her!

Hey Joe,
Where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe,
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna go?

Ain't no hangman gonna,
Get a rope around me,
Ain't no hangman gonna,
Get a rope around me. (no one gonna)

Goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way
Goin' way down south,
Way down where I can be free

"Baghdad"
In your plane in the blue sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq

The President said let it ride, ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

Warrior, the time bombs
About to go
What will you feel
Will you even wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye

The Captain said kill or die, die
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

Great Satan
Great Satan
Great Satan (Our flags of burning)
Great Satan (Our flags of burning)
Great Satan (Our flags of burning)
Great Satan (Our flags will burn)

Soon America may find
Its young men in the sand
Where there casualty
Is just a number
In Iraq

The President said let it ride, ride
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
In Baghdad
In Baghdad!
