From: Peter Ferragine (iginition@yesic.com)
Group: Offspring
Album: The Offspring (Baghdad is off a 7")
Re-released: 1995 nitro/epitaph  Originally done: 1989
Track: 7
Title: tehran (baghdad)

The Offspring released a 7" single "baghdad", and when their re-released
self titled album came out, they released it again but called it "tehran"
it's played the same and even sung the same except instead of saying 
"tehran" they said "baghdad". Wanna know why they changed it? don't ask me
i guess "tehran" fits better!

lyrics

in your plane in 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
the president said let it ride, islam be damned
make your last stand in tehran (baghdad)
warrior, the time bombs about to go 
what will you feel will you ever wonder
if the man that's in your sights ever kissed his girl goodbye
the captain said kill or die, islam be damned 
make your last stand in tehran (baghdad)
great satan, our flags are burning
soon america may find its young men in the sand
where therer casualty is just a number in iran
the president said let it ride, you will be damned 
make your last stand, in tehran (baghdad)
