I want to be free to sing along to my favorite song
I don't want to worry about being accused of wrong
Then be dragged into some highly public place
Where silent spectators will watch my disgrace
With no trial the Taliban's verdict will be in
and I will be publicly beaten for my sin
My sin of listening to my favorite song
This is the world to which we belong
A world full of terror and despair
A world seemingly beyond repair
The world of Taliban justice
I don't want to worry about being accused of wrong
Then be dragged into some highly public place
Where silent spectators will watch my disgrace
With no trial the Taliban's verdict will be in
and I will be publicly beaten for my sin
My sin of listening to my favorite song
This is the world to which we belong
A world full of terror and despair
A world seemingly beyond repair
The world of Taliban justice
