Civil War
"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 swallowed
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 one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
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." *

Patience
Shed a tear cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at easy
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at easy
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
And it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience
And it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience
I sit here on the stairs
Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it
Oh, I'll never break it
Cause I can't take it
Oh, I'll never break it
Cause I can't take it
Little patience, mhh yeah
Need a little patience, mhh yeah
Just a little patience, mhh yeah
Some more patience
Need a little patience, mhh yeah
Just a little patience, mhh yeah
Some more patience
I've been walking the streets tonight (yeah)
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience)
It's hard to see with so many around(yeah)
You know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience)
It's hard to see with so many around(yeah)
You know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)
And the streets don't change but, baby, the names(yeah)
I ain't got time for the game (Gotta have some patience)
