"What we've got here is failure to
  communicate.
  Some men you just can't reach...
  So, you get what we had here last week,
  which is the way he wants it!
  Well, he gets it!
  N' I don't like it any more than you men." *
    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
    My hands are tied
  The billions shift from side to side
  And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
  For the love of God and our human rights
  And all these things are swept aside
  By bloody hands time can't deny
  And are washed away by your genocide
  And history hides the lies of our civil wars
    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
  I went numb when I learned to see
  So I never fell for Vietnam
  We got the wall of 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
    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
    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
    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
    "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" **
    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
  And I don't need your civil war
  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 your civil war
  I don't need one more war
    I don't need one more war
  Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
