The Lyrics

One of the tragic incidents that set the Middle East on a course of never ending conflict was the shooting of King Abdullah bin Ali of Jordan, the one Arab ruler who acquitted himself well in the 1948 war with Israel and who also wanted to make peace with Israel. His father was the last holder of the title "Sharif of Mecca". Which is why I will refer to him as Bin Sharif because how else will I make this stupid thing work? ... Work with me here
I shot Bin Sharif .. cause he bargained with the Yahoodis
I shot Bin Sharif .. cause he would not shoot the Yahoodis

All around the Al Quds* town
They managed to shoot me down
They say they'll try to pin guilt on me
For the killing of diplomacy
For the killing of diplomacy ... But I swear

I shot Bin Sharif .. But I swear its in Islam's defense
I shot Bin Sharif .. Cause I say it gives *Al Mutaqim offense

Sharif's firstborn always loved the Jews
But why, I do not know
Whenever Zion plants its seed
He says "Leave it and let it grow"
He says "Leave it and let it grow" .. But wallah

I shot Bin Sharif .. But I say its in honor's defense
I shot Bin Sharif .. But I swear its in Islam's defense

Islam came to me one day
So I headed to the Dome*
All of a sudden I see Sharif's firstborn
Performing his Salat and Saum
So I sent, I sent four bullets home .. But I swear

I shot Bin Sharif .. Cause he parlayed with the Jew dhimmis
I shot Bin Sharif .. but I did not act like Wahhabis

Righteousness got the best of me
But what Allah wills, shall be
Every day the traitors mock our diin
But in the end, their torment is foreseen
But in the end, eternal Fire is foreseen .. but wallah

I shot Bin Sharif ... And I put the peace in jeopardy
I shot Bin Sharif ... Cause I could not see a remedy
Obligatory Arabic dictionary ... Al Quds -- Jerusalem ... Al Mutaqim -- The Avenger; one of 99 names of Allah .... The Dome -- The Dome of the Rock; next to Al Aqsa mosque where Abdullah was killed ... Salaat wa Saum -- fasting and prayer; what Abdullah was doing when shot

There was a highly coveted office in Islam known as "Sharif of Mecca" ... that is until the Saudis took over and abolished it and named themselves "Protectors of the Holy Places." ..... My original idea was "I Shot al Sharif (But I Did not Shoot The Wahhabi"), but it didnt work because it wasnt historically accurate. The Saudis didnt shoot Sharif Ali Hussein; they just deposed the degenerate, decrepit old bastard and sent him packing

Somebody did some homework to put all that together and make it rock. All 5s from me.
