It was still at the stage of stones & fists, yell-la, yell-la
When Wolfy's place was beaten to bits, yell-la, yell-la
Rummy's eyes would shed no tear
An GI Yusef screaming in fear
An it was just around the corner in Iraqi Civil War
There
you are my soldier friend, yell-la, yell-la
Bagdad-nam in chaos again, yell-la, yell-la
Speaking in tonque for the clampdown gang
Get's a bullet and a missle– BANG! BANG! BANG!
An it was just around the corner in Iraqi Civil War
When Fauzi comes marching home, yell-la, yell-la
Who do the people be-leave again, yell-la, yell-la
The sun is setting an Dickey's hav'in fun
The clouds in the sky rain with Tommy Gun
An it was just around the corner in Iraqi Civil War
An the shadows keep fallin when Fauzi comes marching home
An the Bush Party Army is breakin down the door
An it was just around the corner in Iraqi Civil War!
This
song is especially dedicated to our long time friend
and fan from our days at college - Allen Jennings
- who just got back from Iraq as a member of group
of men who are desperately trying to do the right
thing! Glad Your Safe Allen! This song was inspired
by an Old Irish song "Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye"
- that turned into "Johnny Comes Marching Home"
- one of the most famous songs in American histroy.
The Sheet music was first published by Henry Tolman
and Company of Boston in 1863 and bore the dedication
"To the Army and Navy of the Union." Redone
by many, this modern version has been re-written,
modified, and recorded by Twisted Nixon with lyrics
by Johnny Punish. The music was arranged, produced,
and mastered by Asi Es La Vida between November 10,
2003 and Nov. 21, 2003 at Asi Es La Vida Studios in
Latin America. The melody of this version is based
on The Clash's version of English Civil War circa
1978 with the lyrical tone taken in the spirit of
the words written by the late great Joe Strummer and
Mick Jones aka Jonesy. The song features the powerful
lead vocals of Johnny Punish and background vocalists
- by Dan from Bethlehem. Oh, Lyrics were inspired
by the force that is Joe Allen .

Johnny with Your Opinion Now!
Well
it seemed like a dream too good to be true
The weed grows high so the patients can live
In their millions
Don’t ya know you gotta give
But there’s someone looking down
From that mountainside
RENEE’s BEEN FIGHTING GAINST THE DRUG SQUAD
RENEE’s BEEN FIGHTING GAINST THE DRUG SQUAD
It’s
10 years for you
19 for you
May get us for 25
That is if we’re all alive
And then there came the night of the greatest
ever raid
They arrested all Renees that had ever been made
But she’s not there
Off to Canada to fight what’s fair
But they didn’t halt the pull
Cause those jails are all full
RENEE’s STILL FIGHTING AGAINST THE DRUG
SQUAD
RENEE’s FIGHTING GAINST THE DRUG SQUAD
Well
they put her in court in the land of the snow
And Cotler said Renee that it’s time that
you go
You’ve gotta face the man
You’re a thorn in our plan
But she’s gonna give a fight
Cause Renee stands alright
RENE’S BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST THE DRUG SQUAD
RENE’S A HERO AGAINST THE DRUG SQUAD
COTLER!
It's
10 years for you
19 for you
Try to get us for 25
That is if we’re all alive
IT'S
NOT FAIR, D.E.A., FREE RENEE BOJE
This
song is dedicated to a true hero in the fight for
good, right, and humanity - Renee
Boje - while souless forces are at work against
her we hope that this song can contribute to the awareness
that will defeat the hate. Fight all the way - we
love you Renee! Johnny Punish and the Shabbab
Renee
Boje was seen watering plants for medical marijuana
patient Todd McCormick and indicted as a co-conspirator.
Todd was not allowed to raise a medical use defense
in federal court and pled guilty for a sentence reduction
of 5 years. Renee fled to Canada and faced 10 years
if she was forced to return.
While Renee Boje played a very minimal role in her case,
conspiracy laws will punish her for the activities of
everyone involved, even people she's never met. We have
an important opportunity to help shape the relationship
between Canada and the US regarding victims of the Drug
War, especially cases involving cannabis for medicinal
purposes. So learn more and get involved! www.reneeboje.com.
In 2006, after 8 years of war, the DEA finally agreed
with Renee's lawyers in a plea agreement whereby Renee
took probation and returned back to Canada. She is now
in Canada with her family and free!

7/14/05 - That
f*&%$ing rocks! Philippe, The VICS, Drugsense.org
And everybody wants to rule the world
Must be something we get from birth
One truth is we’ll never learn
Satelites gonna make space burn
And
we've been told to keep the strangers out
We don't like them wanting to hang about
We don't like them in our oil town
Across the world they gonna mow them down
The
reign of dictators must be over
So many troops can't save the earth
Soon the rock will roll over
The world is choking on the Coca-Cola
Saddam’s
gonna be a Hollywood Star
This song is especially
dedicated to our long time friend and fan
from our days at college - Allen "Ayman"
Jennings who served in Iraq as a member
of group of men who are desperately tried
to do the right thing! Get out of that hole
Allen! This song was inspired by The Clash's
"Charlie Don't Surf" This version
modern version has been re-written, modified,
and recorded by Johnny Punish and the Shabbab
with lyrics by Johnny Punish. The music
was arranged, produced, and mastered by

Saddam Hussein

Off To World War III
By Johnny Punish 7/21/06
America and the Global a Go-Go
Where liberty was once the dream
Her People No Longer Question
Goose-Stepping, know what I mean?
So are we with her or against?
Stabbing Freedom Red
And a patron who gives applause
While Liberty Beaten Dead
Clash and Kill are we
Quoting Religious Script
Eat our Oil Food
Is this our tale from the crypt?
America, once a beacon for all
In a world gone mad
Is that our carcass in the street
Or have we all been had?
It’s a Hijack of the people
By the Peddlers of the Fear
Where peace is not a goal
Haven’t ya heard? It’s the New World Order dear!
Marhaba, its Armageddon Time
A do or die they say
Where might is right and peace is wrong
Shalom Cowboy F-15 Pull Make My Day!
So kill your neighbor and his children
too
Drop a Bomb, no consequence on you.
And as your legend grows
The feared one you shall be
Pack it up Soldier, You’re on!
It’s off to World War III

When Fauzi comes marching home again, yell-la, yell-la
He's coming by bus from Fallujah town, yella-la, yell-la
Co-operating with Americans
Get's a bullet in the back of the occupation
An it was just around the corner in Iraqi Civil War
Saddam Don't Surf
And he knows that he ain't no good
Saddam Don't Surf
For his Hamburger Momma
Saddam's gonna be a JDAM star
