Civil War


Verse Eb 1

Eb
Look at your young men fighting
G
Look at your women crying
Eb
Look at your young men dying
G                                 D
The way they've always done before 

Eb
Look at the hate we're breeding
G
Look at the fear we're feeding
Eb
Look at the lives we're leading
G                               D
The way we've always done before

A5

Verse Em 2

              Eb
My hands are tied
      G                                  D
The billions shift from side to side
            Eb
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
           G                            D
For the love of God and our human rights
       Eb
And all these things are swept aside
      G                                   D
By bloody hands time can't deny
            Eb
And are washed away by your genocide
       G                       D                   A
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

Verse G 3
               G                      B              
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
          Eb   
Who said     "Peace could last forever"
         G                     B
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
 Eb                       C        D
And I went numb when I learned to see 
   G                B
So I never fell for Vietnam
                 Eb                                                   
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all 
           G
That you can't trust freedom
           B                Eb                 
When it's not in your hands when everybody's fightin'
             C           D
For their promised land And

G                   B5                               Eb
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
G                      B5                                Eb
    You're power hungry sellin' soldier In a      human grocery store Ain't that fresh
G            B5                 Eb          C  D
    I don't need your civil war

Verse Em 4

Eb
Look at the shoes you're filling
G
Look at the blood we're spilling
Eb
Look at the world we're killing
G                               D
The way we've always done before

Eb
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
G
Look at the leaders we've followed
Eb
Look at the lies we've swallowed
G                           D 
And I don't want to hear no more

              Eb
My hands are tied
 G                                        
For all I've seen has changed my mind
 Em
But still the wars go on and the years go by
            G            D                            
With no love of God or human rights 
 Eb
'cause all these dreams are swept aside
     G                                    
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
 Eb
Who carry the cross of homicide
   G                     D                 A, B5, C, D
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
