Lyrics

[00:06] "What we've got here is failure to communicate.
[00:12] Some men you just can't reach...
[00:17] So, you get what we had here last week,
[00:20] which is the way he wants it!
[00:22] Well, he gets it!
[00:26] N' I don't like it any more than you men." *
[00:38] Look at your young men fighting
[00:41] Look at your women crying
[00:44] Look at your young men dying
[00:48] The way they've always done before
[01:05] Look at the hate we're breeding
[01:08] Look at the fear we're feeding
[01:11] Look at the lives we're leading
[01:15] The way we've always done before
[01:24] My hands are tied
[01:28] The billions shift from side to side
[01:32] And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
[01:35] For the love of God and our human rights
[01:39] And all these things are swept aside
[01:42] By bloody hands time can't deny
[01:45] And are washed away by your genocide
[01:49] And history hides the lies of our civil wars
[02:26] D'you wear a black armband
[02:28] When they shot the man
[02:30] Who said "Peace could last forever"
[02:33] And in my first memories
[02:35] They shot Kennedy
[02:37] I went numb when I learned to see
[02:41] So I never fell for Vietnam
[02:44] We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
[02:48] That you can't trust freedom
[02:49] When it's not in your hands
[02:51] When everybody's fightin'
[02:53] For their promised land
[02:54] And
[02:56] I don't need your civil war
[03:02] It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
[03:10] Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
[03:12] In a human grocery store
[03:15] Ain't that fresh
[03:17] I don't need your civil war
[03:51] Look at the shoes your filling
[03:54] Look at the blood we're spilling
[03:58] Look at the world we're killing
[04:01] The way we've always done before
[04:05] Look in the doubt we've wallowed
[04:08] Look at the leaders we've followed
[04:12] Look at the lies we've swallowed
[04:15] And I don't want to hear no more
[04:25] My hands are tied
[04:30] For all I've seen has changed my mind
[04:32] But still the wars go on as the years go by
[04:36] With no love of God or human rights
[04:39] 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
[04:43] By bloody hands of the hypnotized
[04:46] Who carry the cross of homicide
[04:50] And history bears the scars of our civil wars
[05:28] "We practice selective annihilation of mayors
[05:31] And government officials
[05:32] For example to create a vacuum
[05:34] Then we fill that vacuum
[05:35] As popular war advances
[05:39] I don't need your civil war
[05:46] It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
[05:53] Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
[05:55] In a human grocery store
[05:58] Ain't that fresh
[06:00] And I don't need your civil war
[06:06] I don't need your civil war
[06:13] I don't need your civil war
[06:20] Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
[06:22] In a human grocery store
[06:23] Ain't that fresh
[06:27] I don't need your civil war
[06:33] I don't need one more war
[06:53] I don't need one more war
[07:13] Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
