Inspired by the novel Frankenstein in Baghdad
by Ahmed Saadawi

lyrics & music by Richard Carlson

Suddenly bodies explode- in the suicide of - ethnic cleansing
The horror unleashed - by the exceptional - nation -
Societies collapse - winning hearts & minds with - midnight raids
Under the weight of just war theories - security & oil oligarchies
While limbs & organs & severed heads & hands
Are gathered from the ash& dust
After the car bomb - the smart bomb the human bomb,
Frankenstein, Frankenstein in Bagdad -
Frankenstein, Frankenstein in Bagdad -
After justice implodes - the cycle of violence is - never ending

The bodies are stitched - back by a lonely- junkman
Such sutured souls seek their vengeance from the -petrol state
While a mother prays for her - disappeared son
to St George the dragon slayer
While sacrificial – flesh is salvaged from the cradle civilization
after the car bomb, the smart bomb, the human bomb
\Frankenstein, Frankenstein of Bagdad
Frankenstein, Frankenstein of Bagdad
Arise - monstrous Angel - facing into the ruins of - history
Before arcing back - toward future – retribution
the murder in the alley - the counter-insurgency
Frankenstein in Bagdad,
Frankenstein in ….Mosul, Basra, Kabul, Gaza, Sanaa, Somalia, Libya, Syria
Frankenstein made in America
