John Moreland One Man Holds The World Hostage Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One man holds the world hostage
For his petty satisfaction
To watch the chain reaction
While he makes a redaction

One man holds the world hostage
To satisfy the sickness
While the rest of us bear witness
He'll say it's only business
[Chorus]
Why do I keep feeling
Like we've been this way before?
Why do I keep feeling
Like a soldier in a holy war
That I never signed up for?

[Verse 2]
One man holds the world hostage
'Cause he's afraid of his feelings
And he's a fraud when he's dealing
No telling what hе's concealing
One man holds the world hostagе
Bulletproof and big as Jesus
Gonna do just what he pleases
'Til it's all torn to pieces

[Chorus]
Why do I keep feeling
Like we've been this way before?
Why do I keep feeling
Like a soldier in a holy war
That I never signed up for?

[Chorus]
Why do I keep feeling
Like we've been this way before?
Why do I keep feeling
Like a soldier in a holy war
That I never signed up for?
[Verse 3]
One man holds the world hostage
Preaching to his choir
Pouring gas on the fire
The situation's getting dire
