(What's So Holy 'Bout) The Holy Land?

What’s so holy ‘bout the holy land?
it’s a killin’ floor, it’s a real estate scam
it’s a good excuse to do your fellow man
there’s nothing holy ‘bout the ho-o-ly land.

It’s where weapons’ merchants will never go broke
where the talk of peace is a grisly joke
where the burning bodies will make you choke
there’s nothing holy ‘bout the ho-o-ly land

Well Moses lead his people to the promised land
Jesus bore the cross for his fellow man
Mohammed rose to heaven in the name of Islam
and they all claim, they all claim to be,
the chosen children
of some guy named Abraham.
Damn.

It’s been a rogues’ destination for thousands of years
it draws thieves and murderers from far and near
crusaders, prophets and pilgrims collide
and they all claim that
God is on their side.
Right?

It’s not one or two or three little nations
it’s worldwide, it’s a global situation
it’s a creeping cancer from the desert sand
(comin’ fer you)
we all live in the ho-o-ly land
(I’ll say that again)
we all live in the ho-o-ly land.
(and don’t you forget it)
There’s nothing holy about the ho-o-o-o-ly land
