Holy War Lyrics by Matthew Sweet

Holy War Lyrics

    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

    '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'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...
