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
