They call this a holy war in the name of God they pray to,
All the children they kill to, all the women they rape to.
They call this a holy war in the name of God they pray to,
All the men they enslave to, and send to an early grave to.
They call this a civil war in the name of oil they sell to,
All the countries make the guns and shells to,
Make the bombs that maime the little children to.
They call this a civil war in the name of oil they sell to,
All the countries make the tanks and planes to,
That live in wealth from all the profits of this holy war to.
