D#m
Look at your young men fighting
F#
Look at your women crying
D#m
Look at your young men dying
    F#                   C# 
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

              D#m
My hands are tied
     F#
The billions shift from side to side
       D#m
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
         F#                  C#
For the love of God and our human rights
    D#m
And all these things are swept aside
     F#
By bloody hands time can't deny
         D#m
And are washed away by your genocide
     F#                C#                G#
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

              F#                      A#m
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
         D#m
Who said    "Peace could last forever"
           F#                  A#m
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
D#m                 B         C#        F#             A#m
I went numb when I learned to see so I never fell for Vietnam
           D#m
We got the wall of d.C. to remind us
              F#
all that you can't trust freedom
          A#m                    D#m
When it's not in your hands when everybody's fightin'
            B       C#
For their promised land And

Chorus:
F#         A#m            D#m
  I don't need your civil war
F#              A#m                      D#m B C#
  It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
F#              A#m                      D#m
  You're power hungry sellin' soldier In a
  human grocery store Ain't that fresh
F#         A#m            D#m B C#
  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 in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
An' 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
An' 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
