Lyric discussion by diseased_and_amused 

truth speaker speaks the truth. yeah civil war is amazing, one of their best songs. those lyrics are so true and so deep. they kind of make you face the way our lives are going and look beyond the sugar-coated facade of war in a text-book type setting. i love it when it goes into that hardcore "MY HANDS ARE TIED!" from the soft and solemn beginning. it's great. that song really shows that axl knew his shit, that he cared about what really matters in the world. great songs, great band. what can i say?

Agreed with all you said. And I too love the "my hands are tied" part of Civil War.
