Any good anti-war songs from the last 20 years or so up to present?

[yurbud]

You guys did a great job helping me out with 60s ones. I'm hoping for a repeat.

[gmoney]

1. American Idiot by Green Day springs to mind

[stpalm]

5. that song is pretty bad, actually- the whole CD is, too.

they totally ripped off Dillinger Four for the title track- listen to the song "Doublewhiskeycokenoice" and compare the riffs. They are exactly the same. D4 also has much better lyrics, which aren't anti-war unfortunately (they are about drinking), but whatever.

I like some songs by the Briefs... search them on a filesharing program- the song titles will point you to the political ones. I don't think i should post the lyrics because they are a little over the top and violent. They are a fun band, though. They are mostly tounge-in-cheek

[Mojambo]

41. Yeah, The Briefs stuff makes American Idiot just look lame

I particularly like this one, it's VERY Punk.

"Destroy The U.S.A."

i hate strip malls, bathroom stalls,
mini marts, rules, and laws
i hate pain in my head,
gettin out of bed,
??(-----) democracy,
i hate terror alerts,
stupid jerks, land of the free,
idiocy. i hate bills that are new,
drinks that are blue,
i hate myself, and i hate you

i hate cops walking the beat
i hate the president, and i hate me
i hate neutron bombs, senior proms,

i hate straight edge
i hate superdrunk boneheads
i hate drivin cars, hangin out at bars,
skateboarding scars, and useless wars

destroy the usa hey hey
george started anyway OK!
destroy the usa alright
come on america sign up america

destroy the usa
destroy the usa
destroy the usa

I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag
Joe McDonald (1965)

Well, Come On All Of You, Big Strong Men,
Uncle Sam Needs Your Help Again.
He's Got Himself In A Terrible Jam
Way Down Yonder In Vietnam
So Put Down Your Books And Pick Up A Gun,
We're Gonna Have A Whole Lotta Fun.

And It's One, Two, Three,
What Are We Fighting For ?
Don't Ask Me, I Don't Give A Damn,
Next Stop Is Vietnam;
And It's Five, Six, Seven,
Open Up The Pearly Gates,
Well There Ain't No Time To Wonder Why,
Whoopee! We're All Gonna Die.

Come On Wall Street, Don't Be Slow,
Why Man, This Is War Au-Go-Go
There's Plenty Good Money To Be Made
By Supplying The Army With The Tools Of Its Trade,
But Just Hope And Pray That If They Drop The Bomb,
They Drop It On The Viet Cong.

And It's One, Two, Three,
What Are We Fighting For ?
Don't Ask Me, I Don't Give A Damn,
Next Stop Is Vietnam.
And It's Five, Six, Seven,
Open Up The Pearly Gates,
Well There Ain't No Time To Wonder Why
Whoopee! We're All Gonna Die.

Well, Come On Generals, Let's Move Fast;
Your Big Chance Has Come At Last.
Now You Can Go Out And Get Those Reds
'Cause The Only Good Commie Is The One That's Dead
And You Know That Peace Can Only Be Won
When We've Blown 'Em All To Kingdom Come.

And It's One, Two, Three,
What Are We Fighting For ?
Don't Ask Me, I Don't Give A Damn,
Next Stop Is Vietnam;
And It's Five, Six, Seven,
Open Up The Pearly Gates,
Well There Ain't No Time To Wonder Why
Whoopee! We're All Gonna Die.

Come On Mothers Throughout The Land,
Pack Your Boys Off To Vietnam.
Come On Fathers, And Don't Hesitate
To Send Your Sons Off Before It's Too Late.
And You Can Be The First Ones On Your Block
To Have Your Boy Come Home In A Box.

And It's One, Two, Three
What Are We Fighting For ?
Don't Ask Me, I Don't Give A Damn,
Next Stop Is Vietnam.
And It's Five, Six, Seven,
Open Up The Pearly Gates,
Well There Ain't No Time To Wonder Why,
Whoopee! We're All Gonna Die.

3. M.C. Frontalot has you covered...

His "Special Delivery", delivered with his nerdcore flava, catchy Middle Eastern rythm, and Simpsons samples, kicks much ass.

Special Delivery

Mission Accomplished Remix


Enjoy!

EDITED to add lyrics, so the kids can sing along!

I tried to go clean from protesting but I'm a recidivist
my government behaving with unlimited wickedness
in the interest of peace is how a liar wages war
then clamors for more.
I wish we had elections every day
wave the ballot in the air like a sign when I say
that democracy delivered by the bomb and the gun
is terror elsewhere on the world I'm from

do you cheer for the once-and-for-all of an enemy
whose hand our man don was on in '83
but who now exemplifies all evil
that's what you get for shaking hands with people
who represent the vast and sinister interests of industry
we protect the free trade world, so don't dare try to stop us
we deliver them bullets and sell them their coffins

and I wish that I could afford the ear of Bush the second
I'd ask is it your favorite philosopher who recommended
invading and exterminating all who defy us,
crying out justice but seeking out triumphs?
wasn't your christ unbeloved of empires?
one nailed his ass to a post; he expired!
a terrorist, as roman evidence showed
put down like a retard on the death row
in texas, I guess "tough luck," right George?
ain't that how every war gets scored?
big gun wins, winner gets a free turn
enemy after enemy burns
are you listening sir? or did your mind drift
to the next country in your axis
to all the cool bomb drops you get to call
delivery fresh from the 4th reich to y'all

[anarchy1999]

4. "Something is happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear"

8. John Lennon - Imagine

Edit: Sorry didn't read the point. Well it's from 1971 so it's not the 60s but still...

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

[anarchy1999]

Written by: Lennon
Produced by: Lennon, Phil Spector, Yoko Ono
Released: Oct. '71 on Apple
Charts: 9 weeks
Top spot: No. 3

John Lennon wrote "Imagine," his greatest musical gift to the world, one morning early in 1971 in his bedroom at Ascot, his estate in Tittenhurst, England. His wife, Yoko Ono, watched as Lennon sat at the white grand piano now known around the world from films and photographs of the sessions for his Imagine album and virtually completed the song: the serene melody; the pillowy chord progression; that beckoning, four-note figure; and nearly all of the lyrics, twenty-two lines of graceful, plain-spoken faith in the power of a world, united in imagination and purpose, to repair and change itself.

"It's not like he thought, 'Oh, this can be an anthem,' " Ono said, looking back at that morning thirty years later. "Imagine" was "just what John believed -- that we are all one country, one world, one people. He wanted to get that idea out."

The idea was not his alone: Ono's own art, before and after she met Lennon in 1966, celebrated the transformative power of dreams. The first line of "Imagine" -- "Imagine there's no heaven" -- is a direct descendant of the interactive pieces in Ono's 1964 book, Grapefruit ("Imagine letting a goldfish swim across the sky"). But Lennon, an ex-Beatle, was an expert in the pop vernacular. He once admitted that "Imagine" -- an absolute equality created by the dissolution of governments, borders, organized religion and economic class -- was "virtually the Comm

unist Manifesto." But the elementary beauty of his melody, the warm composure in his voice and the poetic touch of co-producer Phil Spector -- who bathed Lennon's performance in gentle strings and summer-breeze echo -- emphasized the song's fundamental humanity.

Lennon knew he had written something special. In one of his last interviews, he declared "Imagine" to be as good as anything he had written with the Beatles. We know it's better than that: an enduring hymn of solace and promise that has carried us through extreme grief, from the shock of Lennon's own death in 1980 to the unspeakable horror of September 11th. It is now impossible to imagine a world without "Imagine." And we need it, more than he ever dreamed.

25. We all make mistakes

A man is not measured by his mistakes. A man is measured by how he deals with his mistakes. If you deal with a mistake correctly than it's twice as important as not making a mistake in the first place ;)

[anarchy1999]

31. Thank you.

Welcome to DU, DrDeBug. I hope only that I'm forgiven.

[DrDebug]

32. Of course. C'mon I make lots of mistakes as well

10. Metallica's "One"

Great video, too. They used footage from the early 1970's anti-war film "Johnny, Get Your Gun".

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside i feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up i can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Back in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that i must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when i'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone i'm just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that i see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

14. If you like Folk music I know a few good ones that can even be...

...baught at Folk singer John McCutcheon's website <http://www.folkmusic.com/>

At this page <http://www.folkmusic.com/f_mp3.htm>

The CD is "Stand Up! ...Broadsides for Our Time" (2004)

The songs are: "We Know War" and "In the Streets of Sarajevo"

If you click on the CD cover, you can read the lyrics.

Another one of his you may have heard (if you're into folk music) is Christmas in the Trenches

If you want to hear it, it was played at about 11:00 into the PRI Program: "Sound and Spirit" in a show called "To End All War" at this link <http://www.wgbh.org/pages/pri/spirit/alphabetical.html>
(you have to scroll down to "To End All War," then click "Listen")

Their are a few more great anti-War songs in that show too like at 17 minutes and 55 seconds

"And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda"
Eric Bogle
Eric Bogle, vocals & guitar
ERIC BOGLE - SCRAPS OF PAPER
- Flying Fish 70311

[Up2Late]

18. Here's a link to the Lyrics of "And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda"

And a few of the Key parts:

"And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda"

"...And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When the ship pulled away from the quay
And amidst all the tears, flag waving and cheers
We sailed off for Gallipoli

And how well I remember that terrible day
When our blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell that they call Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter

Johnny Turk he was ready, he'd primed himself well
He rained us with bullets, and he showered us with shells
And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell
Nearly blew us back home to Australia

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When we stopped to bury our slain
We buried ours, and the Turks buried theirs
Then we started all over again

And those that were left, well, we tried to survive
In that mad world of blood, death and fire
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive
While around me the corpses piled higher

Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head
And when I awoke in me hospital bed
And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was dead
Never knew there was worse things than dying

So no more I'll go Waltzing Matilda
All around the green bush far and near
To hump tent and pegs a man needs both legs
No more waltzing Matilda for me

So they gathered the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla

And when the ship pulled into Circular Quay
I looked at the place where me legs used to be
And thanked Christ there was no one there waiting for me
To grieve, and to mourn, and to pity

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When they carried us down the gangway
But nobody cheered, they just stood there and stared
Then they turned all their faces away..."

TWO TRIBES LYRICS
gill/johnson/o’toole)

Let’s go

*when two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score

Cowboy no. 1
A born-again poor man’s son
On the air america
I modelled shirts by van heusen-yeah

You know

*(repeat)

Working on the black gas

Switch off your shield
Switch off and feel
I’m working on loving-yeah
Giving you back the good times
Ship it out-out
I’m working for the black gas

*(repeat)

We got two tribes
We got the bomb
We got the bomb-yeah
Sock it to me biscuits-now

Are we living in a land
Where sex and horror are the new gods?
Yeah

A point is all you can score

23. I'm not current with music but Ani DiFranco

26. Bruce Cockburn "Call it Democracy"

Padded with power here they come International loan sharks backed by the guns Of market hungry military profiteers Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared With the blood of the poor

Who rob life of its quality Who render rage a necessity By turning countries into labour camps Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom

Sinister cynical instrument Who makes the gun into a sacrament -- The only response to the deification Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations' Idolatry of ideology

North South East West Kill the best and buy the rest It's just spend a buck to make a buck You don't really give a flying fuck About the people in misery

IMF dirty MF Takes away everything it can get Always making certain that there's one thing left Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

See the paid-off local bottom feeders Passing themselves off as leaders Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows Open for business like a cheap bordello

And they call it democracy And they call it democracy And they call it democracy And they call it democracy

See the loaded eyes of the children too Trying to make the best of it the way kids do One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast They call the revolution

IMF dirty MF Takes away everything it can get Always making certain that there's one thing left Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

"You lie and call it truth," said the child and he stood


"Oh, you must be scared to die," said the man at his desk
"No, I'm prepared and you're scared," said the child and he stood

28. rage against the machine...'testify'

The movie ran through me
The glamour subdue me
The tabloid untie me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless
Ones who travel now in coffins
On the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside our door
Now testify

Now testify
It's right outside our door
Now testify
Yes testify
It's right outside our door

With precision you feed me
My witness I'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door
Now testify
Yeah testify
It's right outside our door
Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside our door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

29. Rage Against the Machine

isn't so much antiwar as TERRIBLY liberal.

Tool and Radiohead both have some antiwar stuff.

As someone mentioned above, Metallica has some songs, notably "The One."

There haven't really been any antiwar anthems lately, because the people are sheep and are totally uninformed about the wars we've had in the last 20 years.

33. yer right I should have noted that it wasn't so much anti-war as...

anti-institution...

Have you seen their Vertigo tour? They do a whole One Campaign outrach with the song One. It's incrediable.

46. El Salvador (Peter, Paul and Mary) • 1986

There's a sunny little country south of Mexico
Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow
But breezes aren't the only things that blow
in El Salvador

If you took the little lady for a moonlight drive
Odds are still good you'd come back alive
But everyone is innocent until they arrive
in El Salvador

If the rebels take a bus on the grand highway
The government destroys a village miles away
The man on the radio says 'now we'll play South of the Border'
And in the morning the natives say,
We're happy you have lived another day
Last night a thousand more passed away
in El Salvador

There's a television crew here from ABC
Filming Rio Lempe and the refugees
Calling murdered children the 'tragedy'
of El Salvador

Before the government cameras 20 feet away
Another man is asking for continued aid
Food and medicine and hand grenades
for El Salvador

There's a thump, a rumble, and the buildings sway
A soldier fires the acid spray
The public address system starts to play South of the Border
You run for cover and hide your eyes
You hear the screams from paradise
They've fallen further than you realize
in El Salvador

Just like Poland is 'protected' by her Russian friends
The junta is 'assisted' by Americans
And if 60 million dollars seems too much to spend
in El Salvador

They say for half a billion they could do it right
Bomb all day, burn all night
Until there's not a living thing upright
in El Salvador

They'll continue training troops in the USA
And watch the nuns that got away
And teach the military bands to play South of the Border
And kill the people to set them free
Who put this price on their liberty?
Don't you think it's time to leave
El Salvador?

52. Tom Waits, "Day After Tomorrow"

I got your letter today
and I miss you all so much here
I can’t wait to see you all
and I’m counting the days here

I still believe that there’s gold
at the end of the world
And I’ll come home to Illinois
on the day after tomorrow

It is so hard and it's cold here
and I’m tired of taking orders
And I miss old Rockford town(2)
up by the Wisconsin border

What I miss, you won't believe
shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow

I close my eyes every nite
and I dream that I can hold you

They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
'bout what it means to be a soldier
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
'bout all the blood that's been spilled
Will god on this throne
get me back home
on the day after tomorrow

You can't deny, the other side
Don't want to die anymore then we do
What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
to the same god that we do?

And tell me how does god choose
whose prayers does he refuse?
Who turns the wheel
Who throws the dice
on the day after tomorrow

I'm not fighting, for justice
I am not fighting, for freedom
I am fighting, for my life
and another day in the world here

I just do what I've been told
We're just the gravel on the road(3)
And only the lucky ones come home
on the day after tomorrow

And the summer, it too will fade
and with it brings the winter's frost dear
And I know we too are made
of all the things that we have lost here

I'll be 21 today
I been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
And my plane it will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
