What weve got here is failure to communicate
~#**************#~
Some men, you just cant reach
~#**************#~
So you get what we had here last week
~#**************#~
Which is the way he wants it
~#**************#~
Well, he gets it
~#**************#~
*Whistling*
~#**************#~
And I dont like it any more than you men
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Look at your young men fighting
~#**************#~
Look at your women crying
~#**************#~
Look at your young men dying
~#**************#~
The way theyve always done before
~#**************#~
Look at the hate were breeding
~#**************#~
Look at the fear were feeding
~#**************#~
Look at the lives were leading
~#**************#~
The way weve always done before
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
My hands are tied
~#**************#~
The billions shift from side to side
~#**************#~
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
~#**************#~
For the love of God and our human rights
~#**************#~
And all these things are swept aside
~#**************#~
By bloody hands, time cant deny
~#**************#~
And are washed away by your genocide
~#**************#~
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
~#**************#~
[Guitar Solo]
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Dyou wear a black armband when they shot the man
~#**************#~
Who said, “Peace could last forever”?
~#**************#~
And in my first memories, they shot Kennedy
~#**************#~
I went numb when I learned to see
~#**************#~
So I never fell for Vietnam
~#**************#~
We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all
~#**************#~
That you cant trust freedom when its not in your hands
~#**************#~
When everybodys fightin for their promised land
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And I dont need your civil war
~#**************#~
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
~#**************#~
Your power-hungry, sellin soldiers in a human grocery store
~#**************#~
Aint that fresh?
~#**************#~
I dont need your civil war
~#**************#~
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no
~#**************#~
[Guitar Solo]
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Look at the shoes youre filling
~#**************#~
Look at the blood were spilling
~#**************#~
Look at the world were killing
~#**************#~
The way weve always done before
~#**************#~
Look in the doubt weve wallowed
~#**************#~
Look at the leaders weve followed
~#**************#~
Look at the lies weve swallowed
~#**************#~
And I dont wanna hear no more
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
My hands are tied
~#**************#~
For all Ive seen has changed my mind
~#**************#~
But still, the wars go on as the years go by
~#**************#~
With no love of God or human rights
~#**************#~
And all these dreams are swept aside
~#**************#~
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
~#**************#~
Who carry the cross of homicide
~#**************#~
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
~#**************#~
[Guitar Solo]
~#**************#~
[Interlude]
~#**************#~
We practice selective annihilation
~#**************#~
Of mayors and government officials
~#**************#~
For example, to create a vacuum
~#**************#~
Then we fill that vacuum
~#**************#~
As popular war advances
~#**************#~
Peace is closer
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I dont need your civil war
~#**************#~
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
~#**************#~
Your power-hungry, sellin soldiers in a human grocery store
~#**************#~
Aint that fresh?
~#**************#~
I dont need your civil war
~#**************#~
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
~#**************#~
I dont need your civil war
~#**************#~
I dont need your civil war
~#**************#~
Your power-hungry, sellin soldiers in a human grocery store
~#**************#~
Aint that fresh?
~#**************#~
I dont need your civil war
~#**************#~
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
~#**************#~
I dont need one more war
~#**************#~
Ooh, I dont need one more war
~#**************#~
No, no, no, no woah, no woah
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Whats so civil bout war anyway?
