Ayatolah

[Verse 1]
From outta exile
You come back in style
To chase away the Shah
And you seize power

Then set up a firing squad
Shooting people like you mad
Shah was real horrible
But you much more wicked and terrible

[Chorus]
Ayatollah, what you [?]?
You goin' to hang all dead in jail?
And hostages that you take
That is a serious and a crucial mistake

Ayatollah, hide your trail
You've a tiger by the tail
Sooner or later gets untied
I am satisfied
There'll be no place on earth you can hide

[Verse 2]
You ban everything
Pеople enjoyin'
No more rum drinkin'
No morе love makin'

Young people don't like old-fashioned
So they want to go modern
But that you get upset
And the only punishment you know is death

[Chorus]
Ayatollah, what you [?]?
You goin' to hang all dead in jail?
And hostages that you take
That is a serious and a crucial mistake

Ayatollah, hide your trail
You've a tiger by the tail
Sooner or later gets untied
I am satisfied
There'll be no place on earth you can hide

[Verse 3]
Twenty-three billion
You want in yuh hand
But Ronald Reagan
Is a stubborn man

He see you as a barbarian
Takin' hostage for ransom
Don't care what scheme you contrive
Ronald Reagan will skin you alive

[Chorus]
Ayatollah, what you [?]?
You goin' to hang all dead in jail?
And hostages that you take
Is a serious and a crucial mistake

Ayatollah, hide your trail
You've a tiger by the tail
Sooner or later gets untied
I am satisfied
There'll be no place on earth you can hide

[Verse 4]
When man ain't have wife
He can't enjoy life
Without a sweetheart
Happiness can't start

Get some little Ayatollahs
Little [?]
With twelve of them in yuh yard
You bound to learn how to love and stop actin' mad!

[Chorus]
Ayatollah, what you [?]?
You goin' to hang all dead in jail?
Them hostages that you take
Is a serious and a crucial mistake

Ayatollah, hide your trail
You've a tiger by the tail
Sooner or later gets untied
I am satisfied
There'll be no place on earth you could hide
