What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The desert dust was rising from a military convoy
2
As it ran into the city with a cargo of despair
3
It waved away the roadblocks, as it dodged among the car bombs
4
For the cameras of the tourists in the foxhole inn
5
In the shadows of the ghetto there's a man beneath a blanket
6
Being kicked into the basement with his hands behind his head
7
They read him his confession, he agrees in his confusion
8
Then he asks for absolution from the cameraman
9
There is no love in the voice of the diplomat
10
He's running around in circles
11
There is no fear in the word of the journalist
12
He's seen it all before
13
I've had enough of holy men and holy wars
14
I wish that I was far away from here... away... away
15
Well I've had enough of holy men and holy wars
16
I wish that I was far away from here... away... away
17
We hear you have a story said the fearless freedom fighter
18
About jet fighters and missiles and the way the east was won
19
In the street the flags are burning for the women veiled and howling
20
And the schoolboys fire machine guns for the man from CNN
21
There is no love in the voice of the diplomat
22
He's running around in circles
23
There is no fear in the word of the journalist
24
He's seen it all before
25
He's had enough of holy men and holy wars
26
I wish that I was far away from here... away... away
27
Well I've had enough of holy men and holy wars
28
I wish that I was far away from here... away... away
29
On a runway west of Berlin there's a general and a contract
30
For the network man's exclusive and the sponsors campaign plan
31
In the headlights of the limo there's a smiling politician
32
For once they lock you up they never really set you free
33
I've had enough of holy men and holy wars
34
I wish that I was far away from here... away... away
35
And I've had enough of holy men and holy wars
36
I wish that I was far away from here... away... away... away
