Killing People to Save People

Killing people to save people
Is what cops and soldiers do--
Killing people to save people
Is a great point of view.

Jesus said to love your foes--
Who was Jesus anyway?
Just one more deluded rebel
Who got crucified one day.

Killing people to save people,
Your beloved kids and wife,
Killing people to save people--
To take life to save a life.

Can't you see those happy faces
In the new Afghanistan?
The Iraqis will be joyful
With the ouster of Saddam.

Killing people to save people--
Jesus bless the falling bombs
In the name of love and freedom
We'll blow away Saddam.

Missing arms, torn legs and widows,
Orphaned children of Iraq,
You'll see the love of Jesus
In tanks, jets and armored trucks.

Killing people to save people--
Just support it and shut up!
If you want to get to Heaven,
Here's a donation cup.
