lyrics

Brother and sister in a civil war
Mama's hidin out behind the cellar door
Daddy's in the back yard diggin up bones
and I'm looking down the barrel of a tombstone
But you can't sympathize with the paralyzed and there ain't no love for my old snake eyes
You can't sympathize with the paralyzed and there ain't no love for my old snake eyes

Left my home in Pakistan
Traded in for a cave in Afghanistan
Left a woman back home in old Ryadh
and another one waitin in Islamabad
but you can't sympathize with the paralyzed
and there ain't no love for my old snake eyes
no you can't sympathize with the paralyzed
and there ain't no love for my old snake eyes

Same old woman back in Marrakesh
I can't go back there now my life is such a mess
I got thirteen children don't know how to cope
I guess you wonder how I have any hope
but you can't sympathize with the paralyzed
No I wouldn't trade it in for all my life

All around they look for me
I haven't seen the sun in half a century
If you see me runnin round your home town
don't turn on the amber alert turn it down
you can't sympathize with the paralyzed
and there ain't no love for my old snake eyes
if I get back to bluer skies
Well I'm gonna trade it in
Cause there ain't no love
no there ain't no love
For my old snake eyes
