The Abu Ghraib Jam
(c) 2004 Tiamat Kam'en'ehar
Texas, the land of no regard
I bought mahself somethin' to eat
Nabbed by the security guards;
My crime? Lost mah re-ceipt.
Now I knew that I was in deep
(I've heard about Texas prizons)
Read in the news about Iraq,
And made me mah decisions:
I heard of Abu Ghraib!
(Not like them Texas prizons)
I'll go to Abu Ghraib!
Can't be as bad as I envisions...
Wellllll, that's my life,
(I guess it's never dull)
The Judge gimme ten years --
Guess I gotta pocket full
Texas prisonz mah home
(Get treated like a slave)
All I want is to get out,
Maybe move to Abu Ghraib
Goin' to Abu Ghraib!
(A torturous vacation)
Ten years in Abu Ghraib!
Do mah time in another nation
Fill out the form and turn it in
(The warden can't believe it)
Applying to transfer to I-rack,
Take mah Texas prizon and leave it!
A week passes and I'm called
(The Army accepts the transfer)
Abu Ghraib: here I come!
Iraq, I tell you, is the answer!
Goin' to Abu Ghraib!
I made a bad decision
I asked to go to Abu Ghraib
To get out of Texas prizon
Then to the endless desert...
(My first sight of Abu Ghraib)
Turned me over to a woman MP
Oh, yeaah, wot a babe!!
Strip-searched me in "Tier A-1"
Gave me a hood and shackles
Pointing at mah grapefruit
She's all smiles and cackles
What kinda prizon izzus?
What's up with Abu Ghraib?
Stand around nekkid all day!
Bein' gawked at by some babe!
Asked me questions in Iraqi
(My English muffled by the hood)
Disappointed the MP:
My answers were no good
So she fixed me up with wires
(Wound 'em around mah jock)
Twice a day, electricity fires
One-twenny volts of shock!
That's life in Abu Ghraib!
(Pain and humiliation)
That's what they do at Abu Ghraib!
Tryin' to humiliate a nation
Impo'tent to understand one's captors
(Just like they wannah understand me)
So I had to puzzle out this MP
What's her trip? Let's see...
The woman was a young sadist
(Yes, Barbara, they exist)
With power over some men...
Oh, to her, this must be bliss!
Pure Hell in Abu Ghraib!
Gettin' tortured by a sadist
Now I want out of Abu Ghraib!
But in case you missed the latest:
There are women at Abu Ghraib
(But the world forgot about 'em)
They still here, ain't nuthin' change
Let me tell you a bit about 'em:
Most get raped every damn day
(But not by guys after booty)
They're patriotic, you see?
Just soldiers doing their 'duty'.
Torchure and rape at Abu Ghraib!
You can hear them from the yard:
Women scream at Abu Ghraib
(They just the spoils of war)
My genitals fryin', I hear women cryin'
(They separate the sexes)
Just one thing thing I can say for it:
At least it isn't Texas
Don't know if I'll make it ten year
(Locked up at Abu Ghraib)
Nuthin' ever makes sense out here,
And the mome raths outgrabe
