The Generals say they know something worth fighting for
They never say what till they start an unjust war--
Iranian hostage Media Hysteria sucks
The Shah ran away with 9 Billion Iranian bucks
Col. Roosevelt and his U.S. dollars overthrew Mossadeq
They wanted his oil now they got Ayatollah's dreck
They put in the Shah and they trained his police the Savak
All Iran was our hostage quarter-century
That's right Jack
--Allen Ginsberg, October 3, 1981
