Holy Man's War Lyrics

[Dan Wexler, Jerry Harrison, Tracy Wallach, Pat Dixon]

Is it black against white
Or brother versus brother
Is it wrong against right
Or color versus color
You can see it in the night
Feel it in the morning
Is it worth the fight
You better take my warning

Cause you can't stop what you can't control
You can lose another life and take another soul

It's a holy mans war
It's a fight for survival
Trying to live day by day
It's a holy mans war
And rival versus rival
You can take it from me
With the things that I've seen
It's a holy mans war

If I see you walking on my part of town
Better bring your army we're gonna bring you down
We've got no reason for the things that we do
When you're born with nothing then you've nothing to lose

Cause you can't stop what you can't control
You can lose another life and take another soul

It's a holy mans war
It's a fight for survival
Trying to live day by day
It's a holy mans war
And rival versus rival
You can take it from me
With the things that I've seen
It's a holy mans war

There was a time when life meant so much to me
The longer I live the less that I want to see
That's not the way it should be

(Guitar Solo)

It's a holy mans war
It's a fight for survival
Trying to live day by day
It's a holy mans war
And rival versus rival
You can take it from me
With the things that I've seen
It's a holy mans war
