[00:13.780] Civil War - Slash
[00:28.920] Look at your young men fighting
[00:31.230]
[00:32.290] Look at your women crying
[00:34.810]
[00:35.870] Look at your young men dying
[00:38.120]
[00:39.370] The way they've always done before
[00:42.560]
[00:57.620] Look at the hate we're breeding
[00:59.750]
[01:00.870] Look at the fear we're feeding
[01:03.250]
[01:04.370] Look at the lives we're leading
[01:06.620]
[01:07.810] The way we've always done before
[01:11.050]
[01:17.620] My hands are tied
[01:18.920]
[01:21.610] The billions shift from side to side
[01:24.730] And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
[01:27.860] For the love of God and our human rights
[01:31.670] And all these things are swept aside
[01:34.480] By bloody hands time can't deny
[01:38.260] And are washed away by your genocide
[01:41.940] And history hides the lies of our civil wars
[01:46.910]
[02:18.890] D'you wear a black armband
[02:20.670] When they shot the man
[02:21.790] Who said "Peace could last forever"
[02:25.170]
[02:25.750] And in my first memories
[02:27.370] They shot Kennedy
[02:29.060]
[02:29.680] I went numb when I learned to see
[02:32.620] So I never fell for Vietnam
[02:34.750]
[02:35.470] We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
[02:39.420] That you can't trust freedom
[02:41.050] When it's not in your hands
[02:43.050] When everybody's fightin'
[02:44.800] For their promised land
[02:46.230]
[02:47.350] And I don't need your civil war
[02:50.920]
[02:53.910] It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
[02:57.300]
[03:00.610] You're power hungry sellin' soldiers
[03:03.630] In a human grocery store
[03:05.690] Ain't that fresh
[03:06.750]
[03:07.370] I don't need your civil war
[03:11.560]
[03:42.020] Look at the shoes you're filling
[03:44.330] Look at the blood we're spilling
[03:46.650]
[03:47.830] Look at the world we're killing
[03:50.210]
[03:51.270] The way we've always done before
[03:54.140]
[03:54.830] Look in the doubt we've wallowed
[03:57.140]
[03:58.140] Look at the leaders we've followed
[04:00.580]
[04:01.700] Look at the lies we've swallowed
[04:03.870]
[04:05.050] And I don't want to hear no more
[04:08.130]
[04:13.530] My hands are tied
[04:14.960]
[04:15.930] For all I've seen has changed my mind
[04:19.370] But still the wars go on as the years go by
[04:22.800] With no love of God or our human rights
[04:26.060] and all these dreams are swept aside
[04:29.370] By bloody hands of the hypnotized
[04:32.620] Who carry the cross of homicide
[04:35.800]
[04:36.370] And history bears the scars of our civil wars
[04:40.180]
[05:14.320] We practice selective annihilation
[05:17.010] Of mayors and government officials
[05:18.320] For example to create a vacuum
[05:19.830] Then we fill that vacuum
[05:21.070] As popular war advances
[05:22.510] Peace is closer
[05:23.650] I don't need your civil war
[05:27.900]
[05:30.400] It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
[05:33.530]
[05:36.970] You're power hungry sellin' soldiers
[05:40.090] In a human grocery store
[05:41.970] Ain't that fresh
[05:42.900]
[05:43.660] And I don't need your civil war
[05:46.720]
[05:50.340] I don't need your civil war
[05:53.470]
[05:56.780] I don't need your civil war
[05:59.840]
[06:03.150] You're power hungry sellin' soldiers
[06:06.340] In a human grocery store
[06:07.910] Ain't that fresh
[06:09.900] I don't need your civil war
[06:12.150] I don't need one more war
