Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][C][G]
[Am][C][Am][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Look at your young men fighting
[C]Look at your women crying
[Am]Look at your young men dying
The [C]way they've always [G]done before

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][Am][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Look at the hate we're breeding
[C]Look at the fear we're feeding
[Am]Look at the lives we're leading
The [C]way they've always [G]done [D]before

[Verse 3]
My hands are [Am]tied
The [C]billions shift from side to [G]side
And the [Am]wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the [C]love of God and our [G]human rights
And [Am]all these things are swept aside
By [C]bloody hands time can't de[G]ny
And are [Am]washed away by your genocide
And [C]history hides the [G]lies
of our civil [D]wars

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][G][Am][C][G]
[Am][C][G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 4]
D'you wear a [C]black armband
When they [Em]shot the man
Who [Am]said "peace could last forever"
And in my [C]first memories
They [Em]shot Kennedy
[Am]I went numb when I lea[F]rned to se[G]e
So I [C]never fell for [Em]Vietnam
We got the [Am]wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you [C]can't trust freedom
When it's [Em]not in your hands
When [Am]everybody's fightin'
For their prom[F]ised land, [G]and

[Chorus 1]
[C]I don't nee[Em]d your civil war[Am]
[C]It feeds the ric[Em]h
while it buries the [Am]poor[F][G]
[C]Your power hun[Em]gry sellin' soldiers
In [Am]a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
[C]I don't nee[Em]d your civil war[Am]
[F]Ow, oh no, [G]no, no

[Solo 1]
[C](no)[Em][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Look at the shoes you're filling
[C]Look at the blood we're spilling
[Am]Look at the world we're killing
The [C]way they've always [G]done before
[Am]Look in the doubt we've wallowed
[C]Look at the leaders we've followed
[Am]Look at the lies we've swallowed
And [C]I don't want to h[G]ear no m[D]ore

[Verse 6]
My hands are [Am]tied
For [C]all I've seen has changed my [G]mind
But still the [Am]wars go on as the years go by
With no [C]love of God or [G]human rights
'Cause [Am]all these dreams are swept aside
By [C]bloody hands of the hypnoti[G]zed
Who [Am]carry the cross of homicide
And [C]history bears the [G]scars
of our civil [D]wars

[Interlude 3]

[Chorus 2]
[C]I don't nee[Em]d your civil war[Am]
[C]It feeds the ric[Em]h
while it buries the [Am]poor[F][G]
[C]Your power hun[Em]gry sellin' soldiers
In [Am]a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
[C]I don't nee[Em]d your civil war[Am]
[F]Ow, oh no, [G]no, no

[Chorus 3]
[C](no) I don't [Em]need your civil [Am]war
[C]I don't nee[Em]d
your civil [Am]war[F][G]
[C]Your power hun[Em]gry sellin' soldiers
In [Am]a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
[C]I don't nee[Em]d your civil war[Am]
[F]Ow, oh no, [G]no, no,
