guns n' roses - civil war (live in tokyo / 1992) lyrics

[instrumental intro]
+whistling+

[bridge]
look at your young men fightin’
look at your women cryin’
look at your young men dyin’
the way they’ve always done before
look at the hate we’re breedin’
look at the fear we’re feedin’
look at the lives we’re leadin’
the way we’ve always done before

[verse 1]
my hands are tied
the billions shift from side to side
and the wars go on with a brainwashed pride
for the love of god and human right
and all these things are swept aside
by bl++dy hands time can’t deny
and are washed away by your genocide
and history hides the lies of our civil wars, yeah

[guitar solo]

[verse 2]
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
and i went numb when i learned to see
so i never fell for vietnam
we got the wall in d.c. to remind us all
that you can’t trust freedom when it’s not in your hands
when everybody’s fightin’ for their promised land
[chorus]
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
ain’t that fresh?
i don’t need your civil war
no no no, no woah, no woah, no

[guitar solo]

[bridge]
look at the shoes you’re fillin’
look at the blood we’re spillin’
look at the world we’re k!llin’
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 wanna hear no more

[verse 3]
my hands are tied
for all i’ve seen has changed my mind
but still, the wars go on with a brainwashed pride
with no love of god or human rights
and all these dreams are swept aside
by bl++dy hands of the hypnotized
who carry the cross of homicide
and history bears the scars of our civil war
[guitar solo]

[interlude]
we practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials
for example, to create a vacuum
then we fill that vacuum
as popular war advances, peace is closer

[chorus]
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
ain’t that fresh?
i don’t need your civil war
no, no, no, no woah, no woah, no
i don’t need your civil war
i don’t need your civil war
your power+hungry sellin’ soldiers in a human grocery store
ain’t that fresh?
i don’t need one more war
no, no, no, no woah, no woah, no
i don’t need one more war
no, no, no, no woah, no woah, no

[outro]
what’s so civil about war anyway?
+whistling+
[guitar solo]
