civil war

verse D# 1

D#
look at your young men fighting
G
look at your women crying
D#
look at your young men dying
G D
the way they’ve always done before

D#
look at the hate we’re breeding
G
look at the fear we’re feeding
D#
look at the lives we’re leading
G D
the way we’ve always done before

A5

verse Em 2

D#
my hands are tied
G D
the billions shift from side to side
D#
and the wars go on with brainwashed pride
G D
for the love of god and our human rights
D#
and all these things are swept aside
G D
by bloody hands time can’t deny
D#
and are washed away by your genocide
G D A
and history hides the lies of our civil wars
