Here is one you can hear in your head.
Hey Ossama here is your swan song; to the tune 'Fernando' by ABBA
new lyric Don Hakman

Can you hear the bombs, ossamo?
You remember long ago
Another starry night like this
In the cavelight, ossamo
You were humming to yourself
And softly strumming your Qatar
You could hear the distant bombs
And sounds of musslim calls were coming from afar

They were closer now, ossamo
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
You were so afraid, ossamo
We were young and full of life
And all of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and bombers almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars and stripes, ossamo
They were flying here for you and me
For liberty, osaamo
Though you never thought that you could lose
There's no regret
If we had to do the same again
We would, my friends, don't you know
If we had to do the same again
We would, my friends, don't you know

Now you're cold and dead, ossamo
Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hands
Can you hear the bombs, ossamo?
Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed Afghanistan?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for tyranny in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars and stripes, ossamo
They were flying there for you and me
For liberty, ossamo
Though you never thought that you could lose
There's no regret
If I had to the same again
I would, my fiend, ossamo

There was something in the air that night
The stars and stripes, ossamo
They were flying there for you and me
For liberty, ossamo
Though you never thought that you could lose
And now you're DEAD
If we had to do the same again
We would, my friends, don't you know
Yes, if we had to do the same again
We would, my friends , don't you know

If We had to do the same again
We would, my friends, don't you know
