Guns N’ Roses – 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’re 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
What’s so civil about war anyway?


Prevod na srpski

Građanski rat

“Mi ovde imamo neuspeh u komunikaciji.
Do nekih ljudi jednostavno ne možeš dopreti…
Pa se tako desi ono što smo mi ovde prošle nedelje imali,
A to je ono što on želi!
E pa, dobio je!
I meni se to, kao ni vama, ne dopada.”

Pogledajte kako se mladi ljudi svađaju
Pogledajte kako žene plaču
Vidite kako mladi ljudi umiru
Kao što je oduvek bilo

Vidi mržnju koju izazivamo
Vidi strah kojeg pothranjujemo
Vidi kakve živote vodimo
Kao što je oduvek bilo

Moje ruke su vezane
Milijarde se prebacuju s jedne strane na drugu
A ratovi se nastavljaju sa ponosom u ispranim mozgovima
U ime Boga i naših ljudskih prava
A sve te stvari bačene su u stranu
krvavim rukama, to vreme ne može oprati
I zbrisane su vašim genocidom
A istorija skriva laži naših građanskih ratova

Da li si nosio crnu traku
Kada su ubili onoga
Koji je rekao “Mir bi mogao večno trajati ”
I u mojim prvim sećanjima
Ubili su Kenedija
Ja sam zanemeo kada sam čuo
Tako da nikad nisam naseo na Vijetnam
Dobili smo zid u Vašingtonu da nas podseća
Da u slobodu verovati ne možemo
Kada nije u našim rukama
Kad svi se bore
Za svoju obećanu zemlju

I meni ne treba vaš građanski rat
On hrani bogate dok sahranjuje siromašne
Vaši moći gladni vojnici na prodaji
U prodavnici ljudi
Nisu tako čisti
Ne treba mi vaš građanski rat

Vidi kakvi ste
Vidi krv koju prolivamo
Vidi svet kojeg ubijamo
Kao što smo to oduvek radili
Vidi sumnje koje smo probudili
Vidi vođe koje smo sledili
Vidi laži koje smo progutali
I neću više da slušam

Moje ruke su vezane
Jer sve što sam video promenilo je moje mišljenje
Ali ratovi se nastavljaju dok godine prolaze
Bez ljubavi božije i bez ljudskih prava
Jer svi ti snovi bačeni su u stranu
Krvavim rukama hipnotizovanih
Što krst ubica nose
A istorija nosi ožiljke naših građanskih ratova

“Praktikujemo selektivno uništavanje gradonačelnika
I funkcionera
Da bi na primer napravili vakuum
A onda taj vakuum popunimo
Kako narodni rat napreduje
Mir je sve bliže”

Ne treba mi vaš građanski rat
On hrani bogate dok sahranjuje siromašne
Vaši moći gladni vojnici na prodaji
U prodavnici ljudi
Nisu tako čisti
I meni ne treba vaš građanski rat
Ne treba mi vaš građanski rat
Ne treba mi vaš građanski rat
Vaši moći gladni vojnici na prodaji
U prodavnici ljudi
Nisu tako čisti
Ne treba mi vaš „civilni“ rat
Meni ne treba još jedan rat

Meni ne treba još jedan rat
Uostalom, po čemu je rat uopšte civilizovan?
