[00:21.77]I could tell you stories like the government tells lies
[00:25.94]Oh
[00:26.56]But no one listens any more
[00:30.50]In the rooms the women come and go
[00:33.50]Talking on the mobile phones
[00:34.82]And the television talks about the war
[00:40.73]When I was a baby there was laughter in my house
[00:44.91]And my daddy smoked domestic cigarettes
[00:49.84]Thursday nights on the radio live in concert
[00:54.05]Live from Cairo
[00:56.05]Mother of Egypt
[01:00.03]Mama
[01:01.13]Mama
[01:02.04]Be with me
[01:03.58]With the music in your breast
[01:06.47]In your glittering evening dress
[01:08.90]And the white flag in your fist trembling
[01:33.86]I could tell you stories like the past was dead and gone
[01:38.16]But I know nothing changes in this world
[01:42.80]Every day the muezzin calls
[01:45.15]Sun comes up and Baghdad falls
[01:47.79]Before the eyes of storytelling girls
[01:52.69]She was just a poor man's daughter
[01:57.20]Going down into the sultan's bed
[02:02.35]He was desert
[02:04.50]She was a water
[02:06.72]And he remembered every word she said
[02:09.87]She said and I say
[02:11.35]Grandma
[02:12.39]Grandma
[02:13.69]Be with me
[02:15.53]In your tragic wedding gown
[02:18.10]With your long hair hanging down
[02:20.50]And the stories tumbling out
[02:22.67]Tumbling
[02:35.72]I could tell you stories like the government tells lies
[02:39.87]Oh
[02:40.09]But no one listens any more
[02:44.50]In the rooms the women come and go
[02:47.60]Talking on the mobile phones
[02:48.88]And the television talks about the war
[02:52.67]About the war
[02:54.20]And the television talks about the war
