THE BEASTLY BALLAD OF TRAIN-WRECK MOSSADEGH
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
I’m a bad, bad boy
I shot those suckers and I’ll shoot the rest
But I take no joy
They call me Johnny-lee
Rock-n-roll
Hooker with a heart of gold
Baby I’m’a do what I please
They call me train-wreck Mossaddegh
Heavy hangin’ to the left
Baby I’m’a do what I please
Woah-oh, woah-ohhhhh…
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
I shot those suckers and I’ll shoot the rest
Most illinest B-boy
I got that feelin’
I am most ill
And I’m rhymin’ and steelin’
Ali Baba and the fourty thieves
I’m a bad, bad boy
Now that’s my great-grandfather so you best believe
I’m a bad, bad boy
I am a red alert, Terror-threat
Martial law is in effect
Lover, if you know what I mean
I am a purple heart, work of art
Sleepin’ in a city park
Lover so you better come clean
Woah-oh, woah-ohhhhh…
Ali Baba and the fourty thieves
Now that’s my great-grandfather so you best believe
Most illinest B-boy
I got that feelin’
I am most ill
And I’m rhymin’ and steelin’
Their pistols are loaded, they shot Abu-bakr
They’re some bad, bad boys
So I threw Colonel Sanders into
Davy Jones locker
Man I had no choice
I’m on a rashidun honeymoon
Gotta make some money soon
Baby I got bills to pay
I’m on a rebel yell, kiss and tell
Tell ‘em all to go to hell
Mission so get out of my way
Woah-oh, woah-ohhhhh…
Pistols are loaded, they shot Abu-bakr
So I threw Colonel Sanders into Davy Jones locker
Most illinest B-boy
I got that feelin’
I am most ill
And I’m rhymin’ and steelin’
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
I’m a bad, bad boy
I shot those suckers and I’ll shoot the rest
But I take no joy
They call me Johnny-lee
Rock-n-roll
Hooker with a heart of gold
Baby I’m’a do what I please
They call me train-wreck Mossaddegh
Heavy hangin’ to the left
Baby I’m’a do what I please
Woah-oh, woah-ohhhhh…
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
I shot those suckers and I’ll shoot the rest
Most illinest B-boy
I got that feelin’
I am most ill
And I’m rhymin’ and steelin’
Ali Baba and the fourty thieves
I’m a bad, bad boy
Now that’s my great-grandfather so you best believe
I’m a bad, bad boy
I am a red alert, Terror-threat
Martial law is in effect
Lover, if you know what I mean
I am a purple heart, work of art
Sleepin’ in a city park
Lover so you better come clean
Woah-oh, woah-ohhhhh…

Now that’s my great-grandfather so you best believe
