[Verse 1]
In your plane the blue sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iran

[Chorus]
The President said "Let it ride, ride"
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

[Verse 2]
Warrior, the time bombs
About to go
What will you feel
You ever wonder?
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye

[Chorus]
The Captain said "Kill or die, die"
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

[Bridge]
Great Satan
Great Satan
Great Satan
(Our flags are burning)
Great Satan
(Our flags are burning)
Great Satan
(Our flags are burning)
(Aah)
Great Satan
(Our flags will burning)
(Aah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Soon, America may find its young men in the sand
Where the casualty is just a number in Iran

[Chorus]
The President said, "Let it ride, ride"
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran
In Tehran
In Tehran
