Riad N' The Bedouins Lyrics
Riad N' the Bedouins
Had a plan and thought they'd win
But i dont give a fuck 'bout them
Cause i am crazy

Oh, my salvation
N' my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Where only I could tell
Ooh...

Riad N' the Bedouins
Say that’s a war you can't win
But I have had enough of them
And who can blame me

Sands of time and desert winds
Nomads and barbarians
I won't bend my will to them
You aggravate me Oh, my salvation
N' my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Where only I could tell
Ooh...

Oh, sweet salvation
Like all my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Then only I could tell
Oh...

Riad N' The Bedouins
Had a plan and thought they'd win

Riad N' The Bedouins
Crossed the line and lost again

"Riad" could be a reference to The Story of Bayad and Riyad, an Arabic love story. It's also the term for a traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior garden (from Wiki).

The Bedouin are a group of Arab nomads who were partly the inspiration for the Fremen in Frank Herbert's novel Dune.

About lovers and people looking for love I beleive.

Riad is a city in the Middle east that means love, and bedouins are wonderers, simialar to nomads..

That's what I think anyway.

The city is Riyadh, not Riad, and it is the capital of Saudi Arabia.

This song is about Riad, who loves to conquer, but he quickly discovers someone who is more intelligent than him and lost the final battle. It reminds me so much "Genghis Khan" of Maiden

I don't think the song is directly about 'Riad and the bedouins' in a subject way. I believe it's about a person who has had very bad experiences with love and expressing it to someone, to a level that he's going insane. He doesn't want to be reminded about his misfortune and experience more of the shit he has gone through (But I dont give a fuck 'bout them/But I have had enough of them), so he slowly starts to isolate himself from love and human feelings.

If this had been a single everyone would have thought it was racist. Good job Axl forked out for the rights for Martin Luther King Jr. speeches and samples from Mississipi Burning to ensure nobody had such outrageous ideas.
