Four Somalians versus the U.S. Navy

helicopters, navy ships, drones, special forces
against a ragtag foursome of Somalians, high on quaat,
nothing to lose, a bullet waiting on shore, six million
dollars scattered to the winds.
rotten teeth, scraggly and bloodshot, everything
going to be alright, Irish, bobbing in a Yellow Submarine,
everything goin' to be alright with a pistol to his forehead,
a knife to his throat.
billions of U.S. dollars on display, the finest minds,
the most powerful nation on earth, ultimately
we learn again there is nothing so powerful as desperation
and nothin' left to lose, Irish.
