Civil War
Verse Eb 1
Eb
Look at your young men fighting
G
Look at your women crying
Eb
Look at your young men dying
G D
The way they've always done before
Eb
Look at the hate we're breeding
G
Look at the fear we're feeding
Eb
Look at the lives we're leading
G D
The way we've always done before
A5
Verse Em 2
Eb
My hands are tied
G D
The billions shift from side to side
Eb
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
G D
For the love of God and our human rights
Eb
And all these things are swept aside
G D
By bloody hands time can't deny
Eb
And are washed away by your genocide
G D A
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

Verse G 3
G B
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
Eb
Who said "Peace could last forever"
G B
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
Eb C D
And I went numb when I learned to see
G B
So I never fell for Vietnam
Eb
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
G
That you can't trust freedom
B Eb
When it's not in your hands when everybody's fightin'
C D
For their promised land And

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

Look at the world we're killing
G D
The way we've always done before

Look in the doubt we've wallowed
G
Look at the leaders we've followed
Eb
Look at the lies we've swallowed
G D
And I don't want to hear no more
A5
Verse Em 5
Eb
My hands are tied
G
For all I've seen has changed my mind
