You know it's so hard
To be up before dawn
A few seconds' breath
A last cigarette
Execution fever
In a war torn land
Maybe it's the will of the Lord
Or the mind of man

There's been heavy fighting
In the Gulf of Iran
Pour away your whiskey
Or meet the kiss of the lash
Cover up your women
Like it says in the Koran
Maybe it's the will of the Lord
Or the mind of man
