Holy War

I spent twenty years

Learnin' to live

In a world that takes back

All that it gives

But I do not want a war



I don't know what's goin' on

In the scenes behind

I worry about it

Some of the time

And I hope there's not a war



'Cause I'm not in for

Killin' another man

Defendin' my holy land

As if there's a God

Who would understand



And I would walk

Across highways

To find my fate

If that might settle

Your crude debate

But I do not want a war



'Cause I'm not in for

Killin' another man

Defendin' my holy land

As if there's a God

Who would understand



Feedin' the promised land

With your blood by my own hand

At Allah's own command

At Allah's own command



I came up from the desert

And here I will die

Tooth for a tooth

And an eye for an eye

Though I didn't want a war



I went in for

Killin' another man

Defendin' my holy land

As if there's a God

Who would understand

As if there's a God

Who would understand



I went in for

Killin' another man

Defendin' my holy land

As if there's a God

Who would understand

As if there's a God

Who would understand



Oh yea

Oh yea

Oh yea
