Ask Netanyahu

He's got a psalm for that

He's got a bomb for you

 A
War isn't murder
        A7
It's an old desert faith
                                A
It's a nation state sanctioned righteous hate

Vengeance of God
                      E7
If you can't see the bodies
                            A
They don't bloat when they rot

                     D
And the flies don't swarm
                       Bm
And the children don't cry
              E7
If war isn't murder

Good men don't die

Give it up for Tom Hanks

Bm
War isn't murder

They don't ship out the poor

And the bullets they fire

Ain't part of the cure

 A
War isn't murder

Land is a right
        N.C.
But the banks called dibs

It's something you can't fight
