Civil War by Guns N' Roses

'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 (1)__________ it.
Well, he gets it. 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 (2)____________ 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 (3)__________ are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on (4)________ (5)______________________ pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all (6)__________ things are swept aside
By bloody (7)__________ time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

Did you (8)________ a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said 'Peace could last forever'
And in my (9)__________ memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I (10)__________ 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 fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the (11)________ while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't (12)________ fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the (13)__________ 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 (14)________ has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the (15)__________ go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these (16)____________ are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the (17)__________ of homicide
And (18)______________ 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 (19)________ your (20)__________ 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 (21)________ civil war
I don't need (22)________ civil war
Your power (23)____________ sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't (24)________ fresh
I don't need (25)________ civil war
I don't need one more war

I don't (26)________ one (27)________ war
What's so civil 'bout war anyway
