War Is A God Songtext

‘N all it needed was our mud, and blood, and guts, and guns, and hate
Maybe Man don’t make the war
Maybe it’s calling all our names;
Come Ye winners, lose your souls
Come Ye losers, die in vain

Let’s split up
You go south
And I’ll go north

On a race to do some good
Come back with your report


It don’t matter who was here first
It don’t matter who was last
All that matters is we’re here right now
Could the past just be the past?
Bloodshed and starvation
Bloodshed, take heed They both got the same damn God
They just don’t know how to read

Maybe war is a God
And we’re just super superstitious
It’s gonna take a lot of blood
‘Cause boy, are we religious


Let’s team up
You go one way
And I’ll come with

Find a way to spread some love
And I wonder if
I wonder if

Maybe Man don’t make the war
Maybe war is just a God
And every bullet, every bombshell: meditations thrown aloft
Bloodshed and starvation
Bloodshed and pain
We all got the same damn God
We just call it different names


Maybe war is a God
And we’re just super superstitious
It’s gonna take a lot of blood
‘Cause boy, are we religious


Let’s get together
Let’s go look
Open your mind

War is over if you want it
If you don’t then that’s alright

I saw the man who made a war
His right hand blown apart
Throw a stick at a machine
It was his final work of art
Seated, bleeding out
His kneecap taken off
And that’s the story of the whole world
I can’t seem to make it stop
