"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it.
Well, he gets it.
And I don't like it any more than you men."


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


My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars


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


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
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war


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


"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer"


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
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war


I don't need one more war
What's so civil about war anyway?

@StreetCoasterz he lyrics hard to read

[MademoiselleChanel94]

@StreetCoasterz Thank you for your input, although unfortunately there's not much can do about it now, it was the first ever lyrics video I made with moving images. I also have the lyrics in the description box, so they can be read there if it makes it easier. Thanks for watching my video, and for being so polite in your comment! :)

[WilsonPicturesPro]

very nice video! what software did you use?

[MademoiselleChanel94]

@WilsonPicturesPro Thank you, glad you liked it! I used plain old Windows Movie Maker. And often what I do (although I can't remember if I did it here) is edit pictures I plan on using on Picnik.com then add additional effects on WMM. I did similar ones for Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Welcome To The Jungle and Hotel California, so you could check those out too!

Dear world, I am 15 years old. I am very sorry that my generation has ruined music

[nomarnimref]

the best Gn'R song ever, IMO.

[TheEzekiel317]

The wars go on with no love for GOD or human rights, I a Marine who prays that GOD will forgive me for my sins, when I joined it was for GOD and Country, but now, I find myself enjoying what I did, killing is NEVER something to be proud of, sometimes it is for the greater good, but if they don't want Democracy and we're forcing it, that's the same as terrorism!

[STuNGamingNation]

Pics I mean by don't repeat

[STuNGamingNation]

In future vidios don't repeat that's all that was bad every thing else was great.

[NamelessPurity]
