Civil War by Guns N' Roses

'What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you (1)________ can't reach.
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it.
Well, he (2)________ it. I don't (3)________ it
any more than you men.'

Look at your young men fighting
Look at (4)________ 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 (5)________ of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By (6)____________ (7)__________ (8)________ can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And (9)______________ hides the lies of our civil wars

Did you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said 'Peace (10)__________ last forever'
And in my first memories
They (11)________ Kennedy
I went (12)________ when I (13)______________ to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the (14)________ of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in (15)________ hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't (16)________ your civil war
It feeds the rich (17)__________ it buries the poor
Your power (18)____________ sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your (19)__________ war

Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always (20)________ 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 (21)__________ rights
'Cause all (22)__________ dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who (23)__________ 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 (24)____________ the poor
Your power (25)____________ sellin' soldiers
In a human (26)______________ store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your (27)__________ war
I don't need your civil war
I don't (28)________ 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 (29)________ one (30)________ war
What's so civil 'bout war anyway
