Und zum Schluß noch etwas, daß ich persönlich vor kurzem wiederentdeckt hab´
- und mit einigem Staunen in einigermaßen neuem Licht wahrnahm:


"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 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 <--
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride <--
For the love of God and our 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


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 of 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


Look at the shoes your 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 as the years go by <<--
With no love of God or human rights <<--
'Cause 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
And I don't need your civil war
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
I don't need one more war


I don't need one more war
->>> Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway °


Da bleibt eigentlich nicht viel mehr zu der sich nun dem
Ende zuneigenden Präsidentschaft zu sagen... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
