D’you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said «Peace could last forever»
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
An I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam.
Civil War
Cлайд с цитатойLook 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.
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.
