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...
