Guns N' Roses — Civil War

Другие цитаты по теме

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.

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with brainwashed pride.

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.

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.

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.

Почему-то всегда так незыблемы цели,

Разрушать города, видеть в братьях мишени.

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.

Если войну можно развязать посредством лжи, то мир можно установить с помощью правды.

Хочет война превратиться в историю,

И у людей чтобы память о ней прошла:

Ждет лишь война, чтоб мир позабыл ее,

Чтобы вернуться опять она могла…

Преуменьшающий беду,

Чью тяжесть сам он понимает,

По чуть схватившемуся льду —

Бегущего напоминает.

Скользит, подыскивая слово,

Чтоб не сказать — ни «нет», ни «да»,

А там, внизу, течет сурово

Истории

тяжелая

вода...
