What we've got here is failure to communicate
[Verse]
Gb
Some men you just can't reach
Ebm
So you get what we had here last week

Which is the way he wants it
Db Ebm
Well he gets it ■
[Intro]

I don't like it ■ any more than you men ■

The way they've always done before

[Chorus]
Ab7 Ebm
My hands are tied
Gb
The billions shift from side to side
Ebm
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
Gb Db
For the love of God and our human rights
Ebm
And all these things are swept aside
Gb
By bloody hands time can't deny
Ebm
And are washed away by your genocide
Gb Db
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

[Verse]
Ebm
Who said Peace could last forever
Gb Bbm Ebm
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy ■
B
I went numb when I learned to see
Db Gb Bbm
So I never fell for Vietnam
Ebm
We got the wall in DC to remind us all
Gb Bbm
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
Ebm B Db
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land
[Chorus]
Gb Bbm Ebm
And I don't need your civil war
Gb Bbm Ebm B
■ It feeds the rich while it buries the poor ■

Ain't that fresh ■

Look at the shoes you're filling
Gb
Look at the blood we're spilling
Ebm
Look at the world we're killing
Gb Db
The way we've always done before
Ebm
■ Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Gb
■ Look at the leaders we've followed
Ebm
Look at the lies we've swallowed
Gb Db Ab
And I don't want to hear no more
Ebm
My hands are tied
[Chorus]
Gb
For all I've seen has changed my mind
Ebm
But still the wars go on as the years go by
Gb Db
With no love of God or human rights
Ebm
And all these dreams are swept aside
Gb
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Ebm Gb
Who carry the cross of homicide
Db Ab
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

We practice selective annihilation ■
Ab7
Of mayors and government officials
Ab
For example to create a vacuum

Then we fill that vacuum

As popular war advances

Peace is closer
