Title:

Composer:

"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.
So, you get what we had here last week, 
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!. 
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]the way they've always [D]/[Gb]done before
[- -Em-  -G-  -Em-  -G-  -D-/ -Gb- ]  
[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 [D]/[Gb]done before
[-  -A-  -B-/ -A-  -C-/ -A-  -D-/ -A-  ]

[-pre chorus ]
My hands are t[Em]ied! 
The [G]billions shift from [D]/[Gb]side to side
And the w[Em]ars go on with brainwashed pride
For the l[G]ove of God and our [D]/[Gb]human rights
And [Em]all these things are swept aside
By [G]bloody hands time [D]/[Gb]can't deny
And are [Em]washed away by your genocide
And [G]history hides 
the [D]/[Gb]lies of our civil war[A]s  
[- -B-/ -A-  -C-/ -A-  -D-/ -A- ]   
[- FIRST SOLO BREAK:  -Em-  -G-  -Em-  -G-  -D-/ -Gb- (2x)  ]

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

[-Chorus ]

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

[-SECOND SOLO BREAK:  -G-  -Bm7-  -Em-  -G-  -Bm7-  -Em-  -C-  -D- (2x) ]

[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 [D]/[Gb]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]and I don't want to [D]/[Gb]hear no more
[-  -A-   -B-/ -A-  -C-/ -A-   -D-/ -A-  ]

[-pre chorus ]
My hands are [Em]tied! 
For [G]all I've seen has c[D]/[Gb]hanged my mind!
But still the [Em]wars go on and the years go by
With no l[G]ove of God or [D]/[Gb]human rights
'cause [Em]all these dreams are swept aside
By [G]bloody hands of th[D]/[Gb]e hypnotized
Who [Em]carry the cross of homicide
And [G]history bears the [D]/[Gb]scars of our civil wa[A]rs 
[- -B-/ -A-   -C-/ -A-    -D-/ -A- ]   
[-SOLO THREE:  -Em-  -G-  -Em-  -G-  -D-/ -Gb- (2x) ]

[-Chorus ]
[G]And I don't [Bm]need your civil [Em]war
[G]It feeds the [Bm]rich while it buries the [Em]poor[C]  [D] 
[G]You're power [Bm]hungry sellin' soldier 
In a [Em]human grocery store ain't that fresh
[G]I don't [Bm]need your civil [Em]war   [C]   [D] 
[G]And I don't [Bm]need your civil [Em]war
[G]It feeds the [Bm]rich while it buries the [Em]poor[C]  [D] 
[G]You're power [Bm]hungry sellin' soldier 
In a [Em]human grocery store ain't that fresh
[G]I don't [Bm]need your civil [Em]war   [C]   [D] 
[G]I don't [Bm]need one more [Em]war[C]  [D] 
[G]I don't [Bm]need one more[C] w[D]ar [G]

What's so civil about war anyway?
