I spent twenty years   Learnin' 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 goin' 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   Killin' another man   Defendin' 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   Killin' another man   Defendin' my holy land   As if there's a God   Who would understand      Feedin' 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 a tooth   And an eye for an eye   Though I didn't want a war      I went in for   Killin' another man   Defendin' 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   Killin' another man   Defendin' my holy land   As if there's a God   Who would understand   As if there's a God   Who would understand      Oh yea   Oh yea   Oh yea
