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" *
(whistle)

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
Ow, oh no, no, no, no, no

Look at the shoes you'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 advantage
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
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
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
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
No, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway?
(whistle)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Ballad of Curtis Loew

Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed 

Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough 

Brought 'em down to the corner, down to the country store 

Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew

Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair 

When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care 

He used to own an old dobro, used to play it across his knee 

I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for me

[Chorus]

Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew 

I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro 

People said he was useless, them people are the fools 

'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues

He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten 

Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again 

I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time 

He'd play me a song or two 

Then take another drink of wine.

[Chorus]

Yes sir

On the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray 

Ol' preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay 

But he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues 

And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose

Play me a song Curtis Loew, Hey Curtis Loew 

I wish that you was here so everyone would know 

People said he was useless, them people all are fools 

'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues

Eric Clapton - Layla (Unplugged)

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
