Song: Civil War

What's so civil about war anyway?
What could possibly be in civil war?

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
An I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam.
You wore a black armband,
When you shot the person
Said “Peace could last forever”?
One of my first memories
The Kennedy Assassination
And I was petrified when I learned to see
I never fell for the bait of Vietnam.

Look at the shoes your 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
And I don't want to hear no more.
Look at these shoes where you're standing
Look at the blood we shed,
Look at the world we're killing,
In the same way as before
Look at the doubt in which we are mired,
Look at the leaders that we followed,
Look at the lies we had adopted the faith,
I don't want to hear anything.

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.
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich, buries the poor.
Your thirst for power is selling soldiers
In a human grocery store.

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
'Cause 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.
My hands are tied
Everything I saw had changed my opinion,
But the war is all go and the years pass.
Without the love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
The bloody hands of the hypnotized
Which are a cross of assassins
History bears the scars of our civil wars.

That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands.
The freedom not to believe,
When she's not in your hands.

The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride.
Billions run across from side to side,
The war continues with the solemn brainwashing.

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
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.
Look at your young men fighting,
Look at your women crying,
Look at your young men dying,
In the same way as before.
Look at the hate we're breeding,
Look at the fear we're feeding,
Look at the lives that we lead
In the same way as before.
