Matthew Sweet Holy War
I've spent twenty years learning 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 going 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 killing another man Defending 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 killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand Feeding 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 tooth and an eye for an eye Though I didn't want a war I went in for killing another man Defending 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 killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand Oh yeah...
