[Verse 1]
White noise is coming
The wolf at your door
Do you hear the drumming?
Outside your window
Outside your window

[Chorus]
Civil war, civil war
All your yesterdays gone before
Civil war, civil war
Can you tell me what you're fighting for?

[Verse 2]
Soldier of fortune, the traitor within
Blood on the pale moon
Outside your window
Outside your window

[Chorus]
Civil war, civil war
All your yesterdays gone before
Civil war, civil war
Can you tell me what you're fighting for?

[Bridge]
Children learn to kill, bet your ass you'll pay the bill
Season of the dog, the dollar takes the place of God
Death laughs in your face, anarchy will take your place
You give all your children guns, see what you have done
Backlash coming soon, joker gonna call the tune
[Verse 3]
Your children are learning
You teach them to hate
Your cities are burning
Outside your window
Outside your window

[Chorus]
Civil war, civil war
All your yesterdays gone before
Civil war, civil war
Can you tell me what you're fighting for?
Civil war, civil war
Can you tell me what you're fighting for?
Civil war, civil war
Here we come, babe, even up the score
