Some of you may recognize these words spoken by the prison warden in Paul Newman’s 1967 film Cool Hand Luke; others of you might be more familiar with the recapitulation of these words in Gun’s & Roses’ 1990 song Civil War.The rest of the sobering lyrics go like this: 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 I don’t need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor 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
