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
