[Verse 1]
 
Em
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
 
Em
Look at the hate we're breeding
G
Look at the fear we're feeding
Em
Look at the lives we're leading
G                               D/F#
The way we've always done before
 
A5  A#4  A7
 
                    E5
My hands are tied
      G                                  D/F#
The billions shift from side to side
            E5
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
            E5
And are washed away by your genocide
       G                       D                   A
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
 
B/A  C/A  D/A
 
             G                      Bm
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]
 
G            Bm             Em
    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

[Verse]
 
Em
Look at the shoes you're filling
G
Look at the blood we're spilling
Em
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
Em
Look at the lies we've swallowed
G                           D/F#
And I don't want to hear no more
 
A5  A#4  A7
 
                    E5
My hands are tied
      G                                        D/F#
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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G            Bm                 Em
    I don't need your civil war
G                   Bm                               Em
    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
 
G            Bm                 Em
    I don't need your civil war
G            Bm                 Em
    I don't need your civil war
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
 
G            Bm                  A
    I don't need one more war
G            Bm                  A
    I don't need one more war
 
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway?
