Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Dubya ‘n Laura, ridin’ with the twins
Got their Road Map to Peace in Jerusalem.
Their Ford Excursion's gettin' low on fuel,
Stuck in Friday Prayer traffic and they need a restroom.
Headin’ north on Jericho they’ll miss Damascus Gate.
The tanks are double-parked, you always hafta wait.
If they built a by-pass, avoid the Muslim Quarter,
It'll take ya’ t’ the Settlements, it’d be a lot shorter.
CHORUS:
Ro-o-o-oad Map to an independent state
Ro-o-o-oad Map drivin’ without brakes
Ro-o-o-oad Map on a Dead End street
Ro-o-o-oad Map to Pe-a-ace
BRIDGE
Via Dolorosa, in a hospital zone,
Wailing Wall is just a stone’s throw
From the southwest corner o’ Dome o’ th’ Rock;
Busload o’ Christians ran a roadblock
VERSE 2:
Goin’ ‘round in circles; won’t admit that they’re lost
Third time past the Al ‘Aqsa Mosque
“Hey, you, kid in th’ Intifada cap,
King David’s Tomb, can ya’ show us on the map?”
He pointed on the map right above the fold
“There’s really not a shortcut to get where you’re goin’”
“We’re lookin’ up the place Jesus Christ was born;
He’s such a great American.” Dubya leans on his horn.
CHORUS:
Ro-o-o-oad Map to an independent state
Ro-o-o-oad Map drivin’ without brakes
Ro-o-o-oad Map on a Dead End street
Ro-o-o-oad Map to Pe-a-ace
BRIDGE
Via Dolorosa, in a hospital zone,
Wailing Wall is just a stone’s throw
From the southwest corner o’ Dome o’ th’ Rock;
Busload o’ Christians ran a roadblock
Ro-o-o-oad Map
