Lyrics & Translation
English
What we've got here is failure to communicate
Some men, you just can't reach
So, you get what we had here, last week
Which is the way he wants it
Well, he gets it
And I don't like it any more than you men
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
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
An' the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
An' all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands, time can't deny
An' are washed away by your genocide
An' 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?
An' 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
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land
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
Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, 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
An' 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 human rights
An' 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 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 buries the poor
Your power hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war
No no no no no no no no no no no 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 your civil war
No no no no no no no no no no, no, no
I don't need one more war
Ooh, I don't need one more war
No no no, no whoa, no whoa
What's so civil 'bout war anyway?

Civil War (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Lo que tenemos aquí es una falla en la comunicación
Algunos hombres, simplemente no puedes alcanzarlos
Así que, obtienes lo que tuvimos aquí, la semana pasada
Que es como él lo quiere
Bueno, él lo consigue
Y no me gusta más que a ustedes, hombres
Mira a tus jóvenes luchando
Mira a tus mujeres llorando
Mira a tus jóvenes muriendo
Como siempre lo han hecho antes
Mira el odio que estamos criando
Mira el miedo que estamos alimentando
Mira las vidas que estamos llevando
Como siempre lo hemos hecho antes
Mis manos están atadas
Los billones se mueven de un lado a otro
Y las guerras continúan con orgullo lavado de cerebro
Por el amor de Dios y nuestros derechos humanos
Y todas estas cosas son barridas
Por manos sangrientas, el tiempo no puede negar
Y son arrastradas por tu genocidio
Y la historia esconde las mentiras de nuestras guerras civiles
¿Llevabas un brazalete negro cuando dispararon al hombre
Que dijo que la paz podría durar para siempre?
Y en mis primeros recuerdos, dispararon a Kennedy
Me quedé insensible cuando aprendí a ver
Así que nunca caí en Vietnam
Tenemos el muro en D.C. para recordarnos a todos
Que no puedes confiar en la libertad cuando no está en tus manos
Cuando todos luchan por su tierra prometida
Y no necesito tu guerra civil
Alimenta a los ricos, mientras entierra a los pobres
Tu sed de poder, vendiendo soldados en una tienda de abarrotes humana
¿No es eso fresco? No necesito tu guerra civil
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Mira los zapatos que estás llenando
Mira la sangre que estamos derramando
Mira el mundo que estamos matando
Como siempre lo hemos hecho antes
Mira en la duda en la que nos hemos revolcado
Mira a los líderes que hemos seguido
Mira las mentiras que hemos tragado
Y no quiero oír más
Mis manos están atadas
Porque todo lo que he visto ha cambiado mi opinión
Pero aún así, las guerras continúan, a medida que pasan los años
Sin amor de Dios ni derechos humanos
Y todos estos sueños son barridos
Por manos sangrientas de los hipnotizados
Que llevan la cruz del homicidio
Y la historia lleva las cicatrices de nuestras guerras civiles
Practicamos la aniquilación selectiva
De alcaldes y funcionarios del gobierno
Por ejemplo, para crear un vacío
Luego llenamos ese vacío
A medida que la guerra popular avanza
La paz está más cerca
No necesito tu guerra civil
Alimenta a los ricos, mientras entierra a los pobres
Tu sed de poder, vendiendo soldados en una tienda de abarrotes humana
¿No es eso fresco? No necesito tu guerra civil
No no no no no no no no no no no no
No necesito tu guerra civil
No necesito tu guerra civil
Tu sed de poder, vendiendo soldados en una tienda de abarrotes humana
¿No es eso fresco? No necesito tu guerra civil
No no no no no no no no no no, no, no
No necesito una guerra más
Ooh, no necesito una guerra más
No no no, no whoa, no whoa
¿Qué tiene de civil la guerra de todos modos?
