Civil War
 
     "What we've got here is failure to
     communicate.
     Some men you just can't reach...
     So, you get what we had here last week,
     which is the way he wants it!
     Well, he gets it!
     N' I don't like it any more than you men." *

     Look at your young men fighting
     Look at your women crying
     Look at your young men dying
     The way they've always done before

     Look at the hate we're breeding
     Look at the fear we're feeding
     Look at the lives we're leading
     The way we've always done before

     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 can't deny
     And are washed away by your genocide
     And history hides the lies of our civil wars


     D'you 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 of D.C. to remind us all
     That you can't trust freedom
     When it's not in your hands
     When everybody's fightin'
     For their promised land

     And
     I don't need your civil war
     It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
     Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
     In a human grocery store
     Ain't that fresh
     I don't need your civil war

     Look at the shoes your filling
     Look at the blood we're spilling
     Look at the world we're killing
     The way we've always done before
     Look in the doubt we've wallowed
     Look at the leaders we've followed
     Look at the lies we've swallowed
     And I don't want to hear no more

     My hands are tied
     For all I've seen has changed my mind
     But still the wars go on as the years go by
     With no love of God or human rights
     'Cause 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


     "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" **

     I don't need your civil war
     It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
     Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
     In a human grocery store
     Ain't that fresh
     And I don't need your civil war
     I don't need your civil war
     I don't need your civil war
     Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
     In a human grocery store
     Ain't that fresh
     I don't need your civil war
     I don't need one more war

     I don't need one more war
     Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
