Lyrics

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 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*
