"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!
N' I don't like it anymore than you, men."

My hands are tied

And are washed away by your genocide

When it's not in your hands

When everybody's fighting
C D
For their promised land

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh

Look in the doubt we've wallowed
G
Look at the leaders we've followed
Em
Look at the lies we've swallowed
G D/F# A B/A C/A D/A
And I don't want to hear no more
Em
My hands are tied
G
For all I've seen has changed my mind
D/F# Em
But still the wars go on as the years go by

Wuth no love of God or human rights

'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
G D/F#
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Em
Who carry the cross of homicide
G D/F# A B/A C/A D/A (Em G Em G D/F#(2x)
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
(A B/A C/A D/A F/A C/A)
"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."
