"Who Kills in God's Name" Song Lyrics

"Who Kills in God’s Name"

I am the last son of a meager man
Recruited from a war-torn desert land
My brother was killed by shrapnel in his chest,
when my mom got near they shot her in the neck

Who kills in God’s name?
Who’s to blame?

I am a poor man, no education
Recruited to fight for this mighty nation
College can wait, I’m headed back to the War,
they took my buddies life and screamed, “Allah Hu Akbar”

Who kills in God’s name?
Who’s to blame?

I am a poor dad at the roundabout
Waiting for work when I hear a man shout,
I walk to his car, he says I know what you need,
put this vest on- you have a family to feed

Who kills in God’s name?
Who’s to blame?

I am a chaplain in the Army of God
Begging the Lord to bless our troops abroad
Give them courage to kill today
all the lost souls who hate the American way

Who kills in God’s name?
Who’s to blame?

I am a widow taking shelter at Mosque
Begging for mercy for our country’s loss
Blood soaked streets, War’s cry from Imam,
Jihad declared, this is not my Islam

Who kills in God’s name?
Who’s to blame?

I am a soldier that was caught in a war,
unjust death not worth fighting for
I lace up my boots and hit the streets of D.C,
it’s the war resisters who will set us free

Stop Killing in God’s Name
We can change
