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.

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.

'Cos I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a God who would understand.

That I would walk across highways to find my faith
If that might settle your crude debate
And I do not want a war.

'Cos 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
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye
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, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
