...Did 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...



I didn't write it, but I'm in a blah mood tonight
And it fits.

Yeah, a favorite.

When Axl's not beating somebody up, he's writin' pretty good lyrics.

No truer words. Seems to always the way of war and civil wars in general.

The Truth is that if the rich had to fight the wars they started, there would be no wars.
