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

Look at the hate we're breeding
G
Look at the fear we're feeding

Look at the lives we're leading

My hands are tied

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
           G                            D
For the love of God and our human rights
       Em
And all these things are swept aside
      G                                   D/F#
By bloody hands time can't deny

And are washed away by your genocide
       G                       D                   A
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

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

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

Look at the shoes you're filling
G
Look at the blood we're spilling

Look at the world we're killing
G                               D/F#
The way we've always done before
Em
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
G
Look at the leaders we've followed

Look at the lies we've swallowed

My hands are tied

For all I've seen has changed my mind
                 E5
But still the wars go on and the years go by
            G                   D                            Em
With no love of God or human rights 'cause all these dreams are swept aside
     G                                    D/F#
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
        E5
Who carry the cross of homicide
       G                       D                      A
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
