E minorEm
Look at your young men fighting
G+G
Look at your women crying
E minorEm
Look at your young men dying
G+G                 D/F#D/F#
The way they've always done before

E minorEm
Look at the hate we're breeding
G+G
Look at the fear we're feeding

A5A5 Asus#4 A7A7

          E5E5
My hands are tied
   G+G                 D/F#D/F#
The billions shift from side to side
      E5E5
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
      G+G              D MajorD
For the love of God and our human rights
    E minorEm
And all these things are swept aside
   G+G                  D/F#D/F#
By bloody hands time can't deny
      E5E5
And are washed away by your genocide
    G+G            D MajorD          A augmentedA
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

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

Chorus

  I don't need your civil war
G+G          B minorBm                E minorEm
  It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
G+G           B minorBm                E minorEm
  You're power hungry sellin' soldier In a   human grocery store Ain't that fresh
G+G      B minorBm         E minorEm     C majorC D MajorD
  I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes you're filling

The way we've always done before

Look in the doubt we've wallowed
G+G
Look at the leaders we've followed

And I don't want to hear no more

          E5E5
My hands are tied
   G+G                    D/F#D/F#
For all I've seen has changed my mind
         E5E5
But still the wars go on and the years go by
      G+G          D MajorD              E minorEm
With no love of God or human rights 'cause all these dreams are swept aside
   G+G                  D/F#D/F#
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
    E5E5
Who carry the cross of homicide
    G+G            D MajorD           A augmentedA
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
