Lyrics
0:32Fifteen men taken captive in a hostile foreign land
0:38Scorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand
0:43A Mideast country being ruled by a man who thinks it's fun
0:49To hold our people in return for a shah that's on the run
0:56I think it's funny
1:02Freedom takes money
1:05It's a heartache and it's hard luck
1:11Well that's tough sh*t man it's no fun
1:16Storm the Iranian embassy
1:19Before they start shooting down you and me
1:33Scores of suits in control of the diplomaticness
1:39While the nations of the world look on and can't care less
1:44The soviet union won't agree to an economic plan
1:50And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan
2:07Orders from Moscow
2:13Invade Tehran now
2:16It's a heartache and it's hard luck
2:22Well that's tough sh*t man it's no fun
2:27Storm the Iranian embassy
2:30Before they start shooting at you and me hey
2:44A nation worries and reads the papers
2:47Hoping that no one has died
2:50Hearing rumors that the hostages
2:52Will soon be tried as spies
2:55Demonstrations on the street
2:58Saying that the end is near
3:00The man from the New York times on vacation
3:03Wants to know what's happened here
3:07Aggressive acts now
3:13We want the best now
3:18Fifteen moms crying
3:24Is my son dying
3:27It's a heartache and it's hard luck
3:32Well that's tough sh*t man it's no fun
3:38Storm the Iranian embassy
3:41Before they start shooting at you and me
Fifteen men taken captive in a hostile foreign land Scorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand A Mideast country being ruled by a man who thinks it's fun To hold our people in return for a shah that's on the run I think it's funny Freedom takes money It's a heartache and it's hard luck Well that's tough sh*t man it's no fun Storm the Iranian embassy Before they start shooting down you and me Scores of suits in control of the diplomaticness While the nations of the world look on and can't care less The soviet union won't agree to an economic plan And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan Orders from Moscow Invade Tehran now It's a heartache and it's hard luck Well that's tough sh*t man it's no fun Storm the Iranian embassy Before they start shooting at you and me hey A nation worries and reads the papers Hoping that no one has died Hearing rumors that the hostages Will soon be tried as spies Demonstrations on the street Saying that the end is near The man from the New York times on vacation Wants to know what's happened here Aggressive acts now We want the best now Fifteen moms crying Is my son dying It's a heartache and it's hard luck Well that's tough sh*t man it's no fun Storm the Iranian embassy Before they start shooting at you and me
