Civil War

*Whistling*

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 the brainwashed pride

For the love of God and human rights

And all these things are swept aside

By bloody hands time can't deny

And are washed away by the 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 in D.C. to remind us all

That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands

And 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?

And I don't need your civil war

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

Look at the shoes you're 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 wanna hear no more

And 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 and human rights

And all these dreams are swept aside

By bloody hands of the hypnotized

Who carry the cross of homicide

History bears the scars of our civil war

We practice selective annihilation

Of mayors and government officials

For example, we create a vacuum

Then we fill that vacuum

As the popular war advances

Peace is closer

And I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor

Power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh?

And I don't need your civil war

No, no, no, no-no, no-no, no

And I don't need your civil war

And I don't need your civil war

Power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh?

And I don't need your civil war

No, no, no, no-no, no-no, no

Oh-woah, I don't need your civil war

And I don't need no civil war

No, no, no, no-woah, no, woah-woah

What's so civil 'bout war anyways?
