EVERYBODY LOVES A HOLY WAR

by Mark Heard.

Some say that God has approved of their mob

Esteeming their purposes alone

Choosing sides with a definite pride

And taking their cause for His own

Everybody loves a holy war

Draw the line and claim divine assistance

Slay the ones who show the most resistance

Everybody loves a holy war

Many’s the man with the iron hand

Supposing his own thoughts to be Divine

He will break any bond-

’cause the other man’s always wrong

It’s a handy excuse for his crimes

Everybody loves a holy war

Draw the line and claim divine protection

Kill the ones who show the most objection

Everybody loves a holy war

Dissident cries are met with cold eyes

And treatment the devil would get

Righteousness and truth

can be weapons in the hands of fools

While innocents go to their deaths

Everybody loves a holy war

Draw the line and claim divine assistance

Slay the ones who show the most resistance

Everybody loves a holy war

From Victims of the Age
