"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 the ha

              
te we're breed

     
ing, look at t

he fear we're 

feeding

My hands are t

ons shift from

 
 side to side
         
And the wars g

nwashed pride
             
For the love o

              
f God and our 


human rights
    
And all these 

things are swe

pt aside
             
By bloody hand

       
s time can't d

eny
        
And are washed

 away by your 

genocide
             
And history hi

 black armband

           
 when they sho

said
 
"Peace could l

And in my firs

[Verse]

            
Look at the sh

              
oes you're fil

      
ling, look at 

the blood we'r

e spilling
            
Look at the wo

              
rld we're kill

             
ing, the way w

            
e've always do


ne before
            
Look in the do

              
ubt we've wall

      
owed, look at 

the leaders we

've followed
            
Look at the li

              
es we've swall

             
owed, and I do

My hands are t

            
ied! For all I

hanged my mind

!
              
But still the 


wars go on and

 the years go 

by
             
With no love o

         
f God or human

 rights
       
'cause all the

se dreams are 

swept aside
             
By bloody hand

       
s of the hypno

tized
    
Who carry the 

cross of homic

ide
             
And history be

          
ars the scars
