It may seem funny at the first glance that I'll post lyrics in a thread that is a lyrics request, but you'll soon see why. I've looked for the lyrics to 'War Party' for a long time for what the 'House Band' sings is barely understandable for me. They say on their LP that the song is 'trad.' but it sounds rather recent to me.

Yesterday I found lyrics to this song in a Google search and I'll post them below. However, these lyrics are grossly off from what the House Band sings. So there are either two extremely different versions or I can't listen as good as I think or the lyrics I have found are full of outrageous errors.

To give you one example why I think the last explanation is possible: Where the lyrics below have the line
your a pastor just like their own I think I can hear
you're a bastard like Pharao which is quite a difference in meaning. And there are many more examples like this.

Would someone who knows that song please have a look at the lyrics below and tell me whether they are completely unreliable or not. Or does someone have a better version to post? And does someone know where that song comes from?

War Party

(This is the Sean N. one, Not the older one)
sheet by: Travis @ www.islemusic.cjb.net
chords: Gm F Eb F

you invite me to a war party
me don't wanna go
everybody seems to be inviting me to a war party
i've heard about the last one
so thanks but no thanks your home, your home

you held up all the indians, you held up all the slaves
not quite so you can kill up their remains
your look for me im looking for you
i cant believe what the say bout you is true
that your a pastor just like their own
you kill the children just like their own
and now you send a ticket for me
you don't have r.s.v.p.

chorus:
oh lord it's a war party
me don't wanna go
everybody seems to be inviting me to a war party
i've heard about the last one
so thanks but no thanks your home, your home

watch dis!
you were invitin all hawaii's men many time before
you dancin around your fires and even out your stores
and when those skankin hum the valley in at the brain?
the only decoration is the one upon thier face

your a pastor just like their own
you kill the children just like their own
and now you send a ticket for me
you don't have r.s.v.p.

(chorus)

now check this one out!
gone sweating in this war party situation
i know there's gotta be a better solution
no need for this constant revolution
fish could come together for all the swift vibrations

your a pastor just like their own
you kill the children just like their own
and now you send a ticket for me
you don't have r.s.v.p.

(chorus)

do you wanna go (say no)
do you wanna wanna go (say no)
me don't wanna go right now
say me don't wanna go right now

(chorus)

you invite me to a war party
