Voodoo Child (Slight Return) / Civil War / Voodoo Child (Slight Return) [London 1991]

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] *Whistling* [Bridge] 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 [Verse 1] 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 human rights And all these things are swept asidе By bloody hands time can't deny And are washеd away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] 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 I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all Can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' for their promised land [Chorus] 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 That fresh? I don't need your civil war No-no-no, no-woah, no-woah, no [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] 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 wanna hear no more [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Interlude] 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 [Chorus] I don't need your civil war Or any of your fucking bullshit I don't need your civil war Your power-hungry sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store Ain't that fuckin' fresh? I don't need your civil war No-no-no, no-woah, no-woah, no I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war Power-hungry sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war No-no-no, no-oh, no-oh, woah [Guitar Solo] [Outro] I don't need one more war No-no-no, no-woah, no-woah, no What's so civil 'bout war anyway? [Instrumental Outro] *Whistling*
