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

[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 aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed 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?
