Civil War

What we've got here is failure
(They communicate)

(They communicate)

(They communicate)

(They communicate)
Some men just can't reach
So you get what we had here last week
Which is the way he wants it
The way he gets it
I don't mind it
And you won't let me win

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 they've always done before

My hands are tied
The billiards shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For a 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 war

You wear a black armband when they shot the man
Who said peace could last forever
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
And I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
Ain't got a war in the sea to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fighting for the promised land, and

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry, selling soldiers in a
Human grocery store, ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war

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 at 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
Must the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or our 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 war

"Many are concerned with the annihilation
And annihilation of government officials
For example, to create a vacuum, then you fill that vacuum
As popular events and TV shows close up"

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry, selling soldiers in a
Human grocery store, ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry, selling soldiers in a
Human grocery store, ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war (I don't need, I don't need)
I don't need your civil war (I don't need your civil war)
"What's your song about war, anyway?"
