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
