The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's latest single, "Christmas in Fallujah," premiered Tuesday on iTunes Dec. 4.
You must watch Cass Dillon performing his great antiwar song. And catch the chorus.
“Christmas In Fallujah”
Words & Music By Billy Joel
Preformed By Cass Dillon
Live in Chicago, 2007
It’s Evening In the Desert
I’m Tired and I’m cold
But I’m just a solder
I do what I am told
We Came with the Crusaders
To save the holy land
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
And no one gives a damn
And I just got your letter
And this is what I read
You said
I’m fading from your memory
So I’m just as good as dead
We are the armies of the empire
We are the legionnaires of Rome
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
And we ain’t never coming home
We came to bring these people freedom
We came to fight the infidel
There is no justice in the desert
Because there is no god in hell
They say Osama’s in the mountains
Deep in a cave near Pakistan
But there’s a sea of blood in Baghdad
A sea of oil in the sand
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
Another day comes to an end
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
Peace on earth goodwill to men
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
It’s Christmas In Fallujah
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
Merry Christmas from Fallujah
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
Merry Christmas from Fallujah
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
Hallelujah hallelujah(hoorah)
Hallelujah hallelujahHoorah!
Who was wrong who was right?
When It’s Christmas in Fallujah
