about

This previously unreleased track, written around the onset of the invasion of Kuwait and the first gulf war, was originally intended for a compilation that never saw the light of day.

It was recorded during the first "Swingers" sessions in 1992.

lyrics

Blood on the sand
by your hand
Blood on the sand
at your command

Smoking Camels
spitting fire
an army of footprints
dust in your eyes

100 men
blind in the sun
99 men
and now there are none
100 men
baked in the sun

Tanks tracks turning
gasoline burning
danger is turning
the desert is burning

Smoking camels
spitting fire
an army of footprints
dust in your eyes

100 rounds of lock-and-load freedom
99 shells of democracy
If you are one of the lucky few
our God might save you from yours
our God might save you from yours

God Bless America
