Текст песни Guns N Roses - Voodoo Child (Slight Return) / Civil War / Voodoo Child (Slight Return) (Live In Las Vegas, Thomas and Mack Center - January 25, 1992) (Диск 4) (Use Your Illusion (Super Deluxe) 2022)

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
And I don't wanna hear no more

My hands are tied
We've all g– shift from side to side
Till the wars go on and the years go by
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

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
And 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
You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land, yeah

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, ain't that fuckin' fresh?
I don't need your civil war
No-no-no, oh-no, whoa-no

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 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 seen has changed my mind
But still, the wars go on and the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
And all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil war, yeah

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 buries the poor
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-oh, oh-no, oh-no

I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a
Human grocery store, ain't that fresh?
I don't need one more war (your civil war)
No-no-no-no, oh-no, whoa-no, oh

I don't need one more war
No-no-no-no, oh-no, whoa-no

What's so civil 'bout war anyway?
