Lyrics

72

You're going to murder in the name of God

What kind of God you dreaming of

A God of blood not love

So you can get your 72

Virgins to abuse

I hope they kick like mules

War

My God's bigger than your God

He made the world run out of puff

More important things to do

It's black

It's white

A fight

An elephant grey

There's a universe at stake

We get in the way

Go left

Go right

Straight on

Just do what they say

There's a universe at stake

We get in the way

WAR
