What we've got here is [Ebm] failure to communicate.
Some [Gb] men you just can't reach.
[Ebm] So you can get what we had here last week, which [Gb] is the way he wants it.
[Db] Well, he gets [Ebm] it.
I [Gb] don't like it any more than you do.
[Ebm]
[Gb] [Db] [Ebm] Look at your young men fighting.
[Gb] Look at your women crying.
[Ebm] Look at your young men dying.
[Gb] Hey, they've [Db] always done before.
[Ebm]
[Gb] [Ebm]
[Gb] [Db] [Ebm] Look at the hate we're breeding.
[Gb] Look at the fear we're feeding.
[Ebm] Look at the lives we're leading.
[Gb] The way we've [Db] always done [Ab] before.
My [Eb] hands are tied.
[Gb] Billions here from [F] dying [Eb] on pride.
[Gb] For the love of [Db] [Eb] God.
All these things are swept aside.
[Gb] My bloody hands can't deny.
[Eb] Pushed away by a genocide.
[Gb] And history [Db] hides [Ab] our civil war.
[Eb] [Ebm]
[Gb] [F] [Eb] [Ebm]
[Gb] [Db] [Eb]
[Gb] [Fm] [Ebm]
[Gb] [Db] [Gb] Well, long, long been when they shot the man [Ebm] who said peace could last forever.
[Gb] And in my first memories, [Bbm] they shot Kennedy.
[Ebm] I went [B] numb when I [Db] learned to [Gb] see.
So I never [Bbm] fell for [Ebm] Vietnam.
We've got the wall of disease to remind us all [Gb] that you can't trust freedom
[Bbm] when it's not in your hands.
[Eb] When everybody's been [B] for the [Db] promised land.
[Gb] I [Bb] don't need your [Eb] civil war.
[Gb] It [Bbm] feeds the rich while it [Eb] buries the poor.
[B] [Gb] The power [Bb] of [Eb] the soldiers in a human grocery store.
[Gb] I don't [Bbm] need your civil [Eb] war.

[Bbm] [Eb] [Ebm] [Gb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [B] [Db] [Gb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Gb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [B] Look [Db] [Ebm] at the shoes you're filling.
[Gb] Look at the blood we're spilling.
[Ebm] Look at the world we're killing.
[Gb] The way we fall [Db] is good for [Ebm] all.
Look at the doubt we've swallowed.
[Gb] Look at the leaders we've followed.
[Ebm]
Look at the life we've swallowed.
[Gb] And I don't want [Db] to care [Ab] no more.
[Eb] [Gb] For all I see and I've gained my mind.
[Eb] Still the walls go down with [Gb] no love I [Db] win right.
[Eb] Cause all these dreams are swept [Ebm] aside.
[Gb] My bloody hands [Db]
[Eb] will carry the cross.
[Gb] And history bears [Db] our civil [Ab] war.
