Video: Christmas In Fallujah

Christmas in Fallujah (lyrics below) was written by Billy Joel and performed by Cass Dillon. Dillon, the 21-year-old singer who is a Long Island native said that the song, now being touted apolitical, just commemorated the US soldiers. According to Joel himself, the inspiration for "Fallujah" was partly born of letters he's received from service personnel overseas, but also simply from years of the realities of war.
The video above shows Cass Dillon sang the antiwar song on a concert days ago held in Chicago.
It’s Evening In the Desert
I’m Tired and I’m cold
But I’m just a solder
I do what I am told
We Came with the Crusaders
to save the holy land
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
and no one gives a damn
And I just got your letter
And this is what I read you said
I’m fading from your memory
so I’m just as good as dead
We are the armies of the empire
We are the legionnaires of Rome
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
and we ain’t never coming home
We came to bring these people freedom
we came to fight the infidel
there is no justice in the desert
Because there is no god in hell
They say osama’s in the mountains
deep in a cave near Pakistan
But there’s a sea of blood in Baghdad
A sea of oil in the sand
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
another day comes to an end
it’s Christmas In Fallujah
Peace on earth goodwill to men
it’s Christmas In Fallujah
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
it’s Christmas In Fallujah
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
it’s Christmas In Fallujah
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
it’s Christmas In Fallujah
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
Merry Christmas from Fallujah
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
Merry Christmas from Fallujah
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
hallelujah hallelujah
(hoorah)
hallelujah hallelujah
Hoorah!
