[Instrumental Intro]

*Whistling*


[Bridge]

Look at your young men fightin'

Look at your women cryin'

Look at your young men dyin'

The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breedin'

Look at the fear we're feedin'

Look at the lives we're leadin'

The way we've always done before


[Verse 1]

My hands are tied

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with a brainwashed pride

For the love of God and human right

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, yeah


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 2]

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

And 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

When everybody's fightin' for their promised land


[Chorus]

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

No no no, no woah, no woah, no


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge]

Look at the shoes you're fillin'

Look at the blood we're spillin'

Look at the world we're killin'

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


[Verse 3]

My hands are tied

For all I've seen has changed my mind

But still, the wars go on with a brainwashed pride

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 war


[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 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

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

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 one more war

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

I don't need one more war

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


[Outro]

What's so civil about war anyway?
