A guy in Afghanistan's in trouble
He chose Christianity
Him they would unburden
Set head free

They're dour and live in darkness
As in the ages past so did we
When we too lacked wisdom
The 14th

Century, century, century, century
Islam's in the 14th century

Through Kabul parade the crazed people
Slaves to a theocracy
That's a spreading cancer
Centuries
Perhaps in 700 years
Their eyes may open and they'll be
At last in 21st century

Century, century, century, century
Islam's in the 14th century

They scream, benighted, loudly
No light shines, reason's an absentee
Where views are so narrow
And deadly
Behead you for listening to music
Stone you for adultery
For Islam the 14th century

Century, century, the 14th century
Some here want us back there, even pre-
Love to be, love to see that you and me aren't free
Seek absolutist theocracy
