Lyrics

My Own War    c 2009 Jerry Stevens, Patterson Martin, Deborah Stevens

Its all according to the will of the Almighty
I read His book and He says he cares not for the unsightly
And these warmongers come by that term rightly

I wont pay for their war with my body
Aint gonna pay for their car with my money
I wont pay for their fun with my body
Their plans wicked and their logics shoddy

I wont pay for their oil with my body
Aint gonna pay for their boys with my money
I wont pay for their kids with my body
Their whole agenda smells funny

Just wanna pay for a war of my own
That one would be less accident prone
I wanna fight in a war of my own
They live in glass houses so I can watch them throw bones

I wanna fight in a war I can win
I could never win the one that theyd have me in
That one is over before it begins
I wanna pay for a war I can win 

cause when Im fighting in my own war
its such a peaceful feeling
When Im paying for my own war
I take time out for the healing
