Guns N' Roses

And you know, I've been the beggar, I've played the thief

I was the dog, they all tried to beat.

But it's been 14 years of silence

It's been 14 years of pain

It's been 14 years that are gone forever

And I'll never have again.

Fun how everything was roses,

Ehen we held on to the guns.

Just like children hidin' in a closet,

Can't tell what's goin' on outside

Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track.

Look at your young men fighting

Look at your women crying

Look at your young men dying

The way they've always done before.

Look at the hate we're breeding

Look at the fear we're feeding

Look at the lives we're leading

The way we've always done before.

That you can't trust freedom

When it's not in your hands.

Look at the shoes your filling

Look at the blood we're spilling

Look at the world we're killing

The way we've always done before.

Look in the doubt we've wallowed

Look at the leaders we've followed

Look at the lies we've swallowed

And I don't want to hear no more.

My hands are tied

For all I've seen has changed my mind

But still the wars go on as the years go by

With no love of God or human rights

'Cause all these dreams are swept aside

By bloody hands of the hypnotized

Who carry the cross of homicide

And history bears the scars of our civil wars.

And I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store.

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with brainwashed pride.

Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day.

If you want it you're gonna bleed

But it's the price to pay.
