## Lyrics
[verse]
Brother against brother, marching through the ashes
Flags torn and tattered in the smoke
Somebody's counting all the crosses
While the drums of anger spoke

[verse]
They send the young ones off to battle
For the lines that old men drew
Nobody wins when the battle's rattling
Nobody wins, it's never true

[chorus]
Why do we keep on fighting our own civil war
Tearing down the house we're standing for
Look at what we're breaking, look at what it's worth
This same old civil war upon the earth

[verse]
I've seen the mothers waiting by the window
I've seen the letters never read
Still the generals draw their borders
Over ground already bled

[chorus]
Why do we keep on fighting our own civil war
Tearing down the house we're standing for
Look at what we're breaking, look at what it's worth
This same old civil war upon the earth

[bridge]
Lay the battle down
Lay the anger down
There's a better way
Than to burn it all away

[chorus]
Why do we keep on fighting our own civil war
Tearing down the house we're standing for
Look at what we're breaking, look at what it's worth
This same old civil war upon the earth
