The Arab League's site is now up and you can watch their video there. Just click the link above.
My previous attempts to get the lyrics right weren't perfect. I think what follows is closer to the mark:
VERSE 1:
It happened in a galaxy not so far away
When a dark force mounting sets up land for disarray
He who has the will and wants to get their way
Cuts deep into the system, carpe deim - sieze the day
Hack out an empire by hook and by crook
Machiavelli would have gagged at the steps that they took
Improve all instruction, act according to the book
Run a game on the sheeple with the ground that they shook
Hands set in motion by the notion of control
Of souls who'll do exactly as their told
Stand in line for the ration as the passion unfolds
They will twist their iron fist as they tighten their hold
As it grew from an acorn in a mighty oak grove
So the tentacles of empire expand and flow
Rooted in a dynasty founded long ago
By the thief of the skull and bones of Geronimo!
CHORUS:
Wake up, infidel
They've taken it too far
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
Wake up, infidel
You're paying for this war
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
STAR WARS INSET WITH GHW BUSH AS DARTH VADER AND GEORGE W. BUSH AS LUKE SKYWALKER:
GHW Bush to George W.: "With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy!"
George W. to GHW Bush: "I'll never join you!"
VERSE 2:
Still asleep in the tomb, blood brother he was down
Married old Yankee money, Prescott don't fuck around
Invested in the Nazis with a bunch of other clowns
Henry Ford, Thyssen, Bush, Harriman and Brown
1952, he flew down to get up in it
Blood money bought a seat in the U.S. Senate
Sure Grandpa had the vision, Herbert Walker sold the dope
Profit from the Holocaust, George Bush drenched in coke
George Herber Walker steps up to have some fun
Number one son going to run some guns
1960, smokescreen: Zapata
He couldn't take the Bay of Pigs, accountable for nada
Making papa proud, he do it all for dada
His first taste of blood, his own intifada
Congress and ambassador, step up the ladder
Stab Nixon in the back, war chest getting fatter!
CHORUS:
Wake up, infidel
They've taken it too far
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
Wake up, infidel
You're paying for this war
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
VERSE 3:
Director CIA, 1976
Ollie North ran the coke, the carrot and the stick
Angola, Noriega, now plot is getting thick
Put Saddam in power, that also do the trick
Hostage release delayed for a week
Snap Carter in two, Reagan takes a seat
When Reagan descends then the real fun begins
Unleash the war machine, stretch the dollar thin
One thousand points of light, a new world order
Orchestrate the conflict, breakdown the border
Introducing drugs, creating disorder
Send the beast with wrath as the time grows shorter!
CHORUS:
Wake up, infidel
They've taken it too far
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
Wake up, infidel
You're paying for this war
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
STAR WARS INSET WITH GHW BUSH AS DARTH VADER AND GEORGE W. BUSH AS LUKE SKYWALKER:
GHW Bush to George W.: "Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father."
George W. to GHW Bush: "He told me enough!"
GHW Bush to George W.: "NO! I AM YOUR FATHER!"
VERSE 4:
Son and dark knight, high as a kite
Light saber fight with a fist full of white
Tries to escape fate but his destiny's in sight
Tries to take the credit but he's just not that bright
Dummy is a mouthpiece for government lies
Burned up desert planet puts smoke in the skies
Attracted to power and mass genocide
George Herber Walker fell to the dark side
Reichstag America 9-1-1
It's all too easy, you're giving up your guns
Battle the beast in the hot desert sun
Abdullah sizzles hot dog in George Bush's bun! CHORUS:
Wake up, infidel
They've taken it too far
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
Wake up, infidel
You're paying for this war
Wake up, infidel
Blow up the death star
STAR WARS INSET WITH GHW BUSH AS THE EMPEROR OR DARTH VADER AND GEORGE W. BUSH AS LUKE SKYWALKER:
GHW Bush to George W.: "Meet your destiny."
GHW Bush to George W.: "If only you knew the power of the dark side, we could rule the galaxy together as father and son. Don't make me destroy you."
