This is a great set of lyrics by a band that would probably scare the hell out of most of the adults --> But your kids loved 'em! A rare rock N roll political statement from the 1980's 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 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

There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream 'Oppression!' And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights 'The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light' Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe and saw RUSH

I agree that most Americans don't trust politicians as far as they can spit.......rightfully so. We are SICK AND TIRED (with a capital SICK AND TIRED) of watching elected officials/leaders do nothing about law breaking or law ignoring, so don't be so sure that people don't know or aren't paying attention to what is happening in this country. I'm trying to see the Immigration issue from both sides. In the last 9 months my sister has worked at Target and Home Depot, and she is shocked to find that there is a serious labor shortage. Both corporations are really, really hurting for workers to fill all positions during all hours of operation. Six people called in sick last Monday at her shop. She said the workers that did show up were grouchy and frustrated as were a some of the customers and that those who did show up were stretched super thin. I'm beginning to understand what the Immigration Bill proponents are trying to achieve. A way to make sure that the people who want to work are legal and accounted for. (Lord knows it is becoming obvious that we need more workers) The problem with politicians is they are very poor communicators, a little bit complacent, a little bit greedy, and a little bit incompetent. In other words........they are human. But we expect Gods or God like behavior........all of the answers we like and expect. I think the voters of this country are looking for a real leader. Someone with the desire and talent to see solutions and to implement them........like RR did in the '80s. I also think there are a few candidates that are starting to stand out.
