Holy War

 

For Jesus and the holy banks
We crossed the desert in our tanks
We demonised the brown-skinned man
In Gaza and Afghanistan

We fought for Rumsfeld and for Bush
No guilt or moral qualms for us
We fought for Campbell and for Blair
Don’t look for any sorrow there

We fought for oil and for God
On foreign soil, because we could
We decide who should be free
But don’t call it hypocrisy

Wave a flag for tyranny
It ensures our victory
God has sanctioned what we do
It’s right for us but not for you

We welcome the a-symmetry
Of the new insurgency
As long as we’re on top of course –
We crush with overwhelming force

Our enemies have sticks and stones
We have uranium and drones
In Egypt, Libya and Iran
We seek to kill the brown-skinned man
