Living in Daddy's Tank

(Go and leave us, Bashar) (Go and leave us, Bashar) (Go and leave us, Bashar) Why things are going like this, Daddy? Why did you go and leave me all alone with Hama, the Syrians, and the Syrian people? I can't control them, Daddy I can't take the responsibility for the tens of thousands of people I've killed, Daddy They've come to take revenge on me Hama, France, America...they're all against me They treat me like I'm some kind of professional soldier, forgetting that I'm only a dentist What is this party that I've inherited from you? "The Baath Party" O God, they've caused my bad mood and that of all the Syrian people. God may bring them the same. All your life you've been lucky, Bassel All your life you've been lucky, Bassel Since we were children, you were lucky I'm so unlucky! You used to buy with your allowance, tissues, bubblegum, and everything tasty Fizzy drinks, and other stuff But I spent it studying all the time And for what? So I could become a dentist You died, Bassel, you were a horse rider and a leader Even as a dentist I wasn't lucky I'm so unlucky!
