Civil war

1. [Dm] Look at your young men fighting

[F] Look at your women crying

[Dm] Look at your young men dying

The [F] way they've always [C] done before

[Dm] Look at the hate we're breeding

[F] Look at the fear we're feeding

[Dm] Look at the lives we're leading

The [F] way we've always [C] done before

[G] My hands are [Dm] tied

The [F] billions shift from side to [C] side

And the wars [Dm] go on with brainwashed pride

For the [F] love of God and our [C] human rights

And [Dm] all these things are swept aside

By [F] bloody hands time [C] can't deny

And are [Dm] washed away by your genocide

And [F] history hides the lies of [C] our civil [G] wars

D'you wear a [F] black armband when they [Am] shot the man

Who said [Dm] "Peace could last forever"

And in my [F] first memories they [Am] shot Kennedy

[Dm] I went numb when I [Bb] learned [C] to see

so I [F] never fell for [Am] Vietnam

We got the [Dm] wall of D.C. to remind us all

that you [F] can't trust freedom

When it's [Am] not in your hands when [Dm] everybody's fightin'

For their [Bb] promised [C] land And

 

Chorus: [F] I don't [Am] need your civil [Dm] war

[F] It feeds the [Am] rich while it buries the [Dm] poor [Bb][C]

[F] You're power [Am] hungry sellin' soldier

In a [Dm] human grocery store Ain't that fresh

[F] I don't [Am] need your civil [Dm] war [Bb][C]

 

2. [Dm] Look at the shoes you're filling

[F] Look at the blood we're spilling

[Dm] Look at the world we're killing

The [F] way we've always [C] done before

[Dm] Look in the doubt we've wallowed

[F] Look at the leaders we've followed

[Dm] Look at the lies we've swallowed

And [F] I don't want to [C] hear no more

[G] My hands are [D] tied

For [F] all I've seen has changed my [C] mind

But still the [Dm] wars go on and the years go by

With [F] no love of God or [C] human rights

'cause all these dreams [Dm] are swept aside

By [F] bloody hands of the [C] hypnotized

Who [Dm] carry the cross of homicide

And [F] history bears the [C] scars of our civil [G] wars

 

Chorus: [F] I don't [Am] need your civil [Dm] war

[F] It feeds the [Am] rich while it buries the [Dm] poor

[F] You're power [Am] hungry sellin' soldier

In a human [Dm] grocery store Ain't that fresh

[F] I don't [Am] need your civil [Dm] war [Bb][C]

[F] I don't [Am] need your civil [Dm] war

[F] It feeds the [Am] rich while it buries the [Dm] poor

[F] You're power [Am] hungry sellin' soldier

In a human [Dm] grocery store Ain't that fresh

[F] I don't [Am] need your civil [Dm] war [Bb][C]

[F] I don't [Am] need one more [Dm] war

[F] I don't [Am] need one more [Dm] war
