Running for cover, life on the line
Soldier is ready, he looks for a sign
He fights for freedom, she fights for love
Some fight for money or heaven above
Heaven's knockin' at my door
But I won't fight a holy war
Love is all I'm askin' for
Don't you fight a holy war
Hey, I won't fight a holy war
Jimmy's on cable, Jerry's in Rome
Billy's in Moscow, so nobody's home
They're flyin' to Boston, they'll be here by three
They must be confused if they're preachin' to me
Heaven's knockin' at my door
But I won't fight a holy war
Love is all I'm askin' for
I won't fight a holy war
Hey, don't you fight a holy war
Heaven's knockin' at my door
But I won't fight a holy war
Love is all I'm askin' for
Don't you fight a holy war
He-hey, I won't fight a holy war
Don't you fight a holy war
