The song you're thinking of is Peace Pipe by American rock band Cry of Love. The song was released in 1993 and was taken from Cry of Love's debut album, Brother. Peace Pipe topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart upon release.

Lyrics to Peace Pipe by Cry of Love
In the heat of the morning
In the eye of the sun
Hear the wind start blowing
See the horse and the gun
Now the peace pipe, it ain’t smokin’
All the promises are broken
In the heat of the morning
See the horse and the gun
All in the name of God somehow
Oh-oh-oh-whoa!
Tearing the temple down
Burn down the sacred ground
Tearing the temple down
In the name of God somehow
Burn down the sacred ground
In the dead of the evening,
When the spears come down,
Say a prayer for the plowboy
On the killing ground.
Now the peace pipe, it is broken
All the shaman’s gone unspoken.
In the dead of the evening
When the tears come down.. Yeah!
All in the name of God somehow
Oh-oh-oo-whoa!
Tearing the temple down
Burn down the sacred ground
Tear the temple down!
In the name of God somehow
Burn down the sacred ground
All in the name – All in the name
All in the name of God somehow
Hey, hey! Oh-oh, yeah, yeah! Oh-oh-oo-whoa!
Burn down the sacred ground!
Tear the temple down!
In the name of God somehow…
Burn down the sacred ground!
Hey, hey! Yeah, yeah! Oh-oh-oo-whoa!
Burn down the sacred ground!
Burn down the sacred ground!
Burn down the sacred ground!
Burn down the sacred ground!
