It's about time they picked up the fight against the Taliban rather than pretending there was nothing wrong with the Taliban.

Go Tribesman!
Be good and you will be lonesome
Be lonesome and you will be free
Live a lie and you will live to regret it
That's what living is to me
Be lonesome and you will be free
Live a lie and you will live to regret it
That's what living is to me
