[Verse 1]
I'm just an American boy
Raised on MTV
And I've seen all the kids in the soda pop ads
But none of 'em looked like me
So I started lookin' around
For a light out of the dim
And the first thing I heard that made sense was the word
Of Muhammad, peace be upon him
[Chorus]
Ashhadu la ilaha illa Allah
There's no god but God
[Verse 2]
If my daddy could see me now
Chains around my feet
He don't understand that sometimes a man
Has got to fight for what he believes
And I believe God is great
All praise due to him
And if I should die, I'd rise up to the sky
Just like Jesus, peace be upon him
[Chorus]
Ashhadu la ilaha illa Allah
There's no god but God
[Verse 3]
We came to fight the Jihad
And our hearts were pure and strong
And death filled the air, we all offered up prayers
And prepared for our martyrdom
Ah, but Allah had some other plan
Some secret not revealed
Now they're draggin' me back with my head in a sack
To the land of the infidel
[Chorus]
Ashhadu la ilaha illa Allah
Ashhadu la ilaha illa Allah
