Cover art for Holy War lyrics by Matthew Sweet

It's about people who justify persecution, death, and destruction as "Holy". The hypocrisy of killing in the name of "God". Not necessarily about just the Jihad, but about how everyone thinks it's ok to tailor things to fit explanations that justify them and how, if there is a "God" or what have you, he'd obviously see through it...
