Civil War

[Em]Look at your young men fighting
[G]Look at your women crying
[Em]Look at your young men dying
[G]The way they've always done before[D/F#]

[Em]Look at the hate we're breeding
[G]Look at the fear we're feeding
[Em]Look at the lives we're leading
[G]The way we've always done before[D/F#]

[A5]  [A5]

My hands are tied   [E5]
The bi[G]llions shift from side to side     [D/F#]
And the wars[E5] go on with brainwashed pride
For the lov[G]e of God and our human rights[D]
And all[Em] these things are swept aside
By blo[G]ody hands time can't deny           [D/F#]
And are wash[E5]ed away by your genocide
And his[G]tory hides the lies of o[D]ur civil wars       [A]

[B/A]  [C/A]  [D/A]

D'you wear a black a[G]rmband when they shot the man        [Bm]
Who said     [Em]"Peace could last forever"
And in my first[G] memories they shot Kennedy  [Bm]
[Em]I went numb when I learned to see[C] so I never[D] fell for [G]Vietnam          [Bm]
We got the wall o[Em]f D.C. to remind us all that you can't trust freedom  [G]
When it's not [Bm]in your hands when everybody's f[Em]ightin'
For their promised la[C]nd And  [D]

[G]    I don't n[Bm]eed your civil war [Em]
[G]    It feeds the ric[Bm]h while it buries the poor       [Em]
[G]    You're power hungry[Bm] sellin' soldier In a      human g[Em]rocery store Ain't that fresh
[G]    I don't n[Bm]eed your civil war [Em]             [C]                [D]

[Em]Look at the shoes you're filling
[G]Look at the blood we're spilling
[Em]Look at the world we're killing
[G]The way we've always done before[D/F#]

[Em]Look in the doubt we've wallowed
[G]Look at the leaders we've followed
[Em]Look at the lies we've swallowed
[G]And I don't want to hear no [D/F#]more

[A5] [A5]

My hands are tied   [E5]
For al[G]l I've seen has changed my mind          [D/F#]
But still the war[E5]s go on and the years go by
With no love[G] of God or human rig[D]hts 'cause all these dreams a[Em]re swept aside
By bl[G]oody hands of the hypnotized         [D/F#]
Who carr[E5]y the cross of homicide
And his[G]tory bears the scars of [D]our civil wars         [A]

[G]    I don't n[Bm]eed your civil war [Em]
[G]    It feeds the ric[Bm]h while it buries the poor       [Em]
[G]    You're power hungry[Bm] sellin' soldier In a      human g[Em]rocery store Ain't that fresh
[G]    I don't n[Bm]eed your civil war [Em]             [C]                [D]

[G]    I don't n[Bm]eed your civil war [Em]
[G]    It feeds the ric[Bm]h while it buries the poor       [Em]
[G]    You're power hungry[Bm] sellin' soldier In a      human g[Em]rocery store Ain't that fresh
[G]    I don't n[Bm]eed your civil war [Em]             [C]                [D]

[G]    I don't n[Bm]eed one more war    [A]
