Well, it started in the shadows where the deals get made
Guns for drugs, and the cash got paid
Reagan's boys played a dirty hand
Running war games in a foreign land
Oh, the truth's a lie and the lies don't care
Selling freedom like a goddamn dare
A dirty deal with a devil's share
That's the story of Iran-Contra affair
They sold those weapons to the Ayatollah's crew
While preaching peace like saints in the pew
Then they funneled that money to the Contra fight
Killing kids in the jungle under cover of night
Oh, the truth's a lie and the lies don't care
Selling freedom like a goddamn dare
A dirty deal with a devil's share
That's the story of Iran-Contra affair
Ollie stood tall with a smirk on his face
Just a patriot, keeping the pace
But the blood of the innocent paints the scene
While Uncle Sam washes his hands clean
Oh, the truth's a lie, and the lies don't care
Selling freedom like a goddamn dare
A dirty deal with a devil's share
That's the story of Iran-Contra affair
So raise a glass to the games they play
Where lives get sold and truth decays
The bastards laugh while we despair
That's the price of the Iran-Contra affair
