  • Guns for the Afgan Rebels,
    And the rest the rest they've go to label
    The hammer and sickle seems so fickle
    When the tanks are rolling in

    They fight with muskets
    But never surrender
    The tanks are rolling in

    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan

    As the gold goes cold the rich are told
    There's rebel men and rebels boys
    Rebels with a cause

    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan

    Guns for the Afgan Rebels,
    Or the countries will start to tremble,
    Not the first not the last,
    As Afgan is trying to??

    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan
    Taking guns to Afghanistan Writer/s: RAYMOND COWIE, THOMAS MENSFORTH

  • Pedro from Rio De JaneiroOi you, the talibans were created in Pakistania refugee camps in 1994-ish. There were no talibans when this song was written. Various afghan 'freedom fighters' who were armed by USA, Saudi Arabia against Russia and communism, but no people with the ideology of the talibans. That came later.
