"What we've got here 
           Em 
is failure to communicate. 
        G 
Some men you just can't reach. 
 Em 
So, you get what we had here last week, 
                G   D/F#   
which is the way he  wants it! Well, he gets it!. 
Em                        G 
And I don't like it any more than you, men."

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

Em 
Look at the hate we're breeding

Look at the fear we're feeding

Look at the lives we're leading 
G                               D/F# 
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied 
      G                                  D/F# 
The billions shift from side to side 
            E5 
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride 
           G                            D 
For the love of God and our human rights 
       Em 
And all these things are swept aside 
      G                                   D/F# 
By bloody hands time can't deny 
            E5 
And are washed away by your genocide 
       G                       D          A  B/A  C/A  D/A 
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

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

    I don't need your civil war

    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor 
G                 Bm                        Em 
    You're power hungry sellin' soldier In a      human grocery store Ain't that fresh 
G            Bm             Em    C  D 
    I don't need your civil war

[Strophe]
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                               D/F# 
The way we've always done before 
  
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                           D/F# 
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied 
      G                                        D/F# 
For all I've seen has changed my mind 
                 E5 
But still the wars go on and the years go by 
            G                   D                            Em 
With no love of God or human rights 'cause all these dreams are swept aside 
     G                                    D/F# 
By bloody hands of the hypnotized 
        E5 
Who carry the cross of homicide 
       G                       D                      A 
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
