By Bad Religion
And you definitely need some Phil Ochs on that sucker. I'd suggest "Cops of the World" or "I Ain't Marchin' Anymore"

7. www.protest-records.com |
|
thurston moore from sonic youth started this website. lots of free MP3s that are anti-war/anti-bush. many are of questionable quality but there are some good ones:
"Companheiro Bush" - Tom Ze "World Gone Mad" - The Beastie Boys "Bomb the World" - Michael Franti and Spearhead "The Price of Oil" - Billy Bragg "My Hero Mr. President" - Paula Cole "Seventy Virgins" - Polaris 7 "Super Patriot American Freak" - Misinformed Manzerek
and no anti-war collection is complete without the greatest anti-war anthem of all time: "Masters of War" - Bob Dylan.

11. The Patriot's Dream - Gordon Lightfoot |
|
The Patriot's Dream (Don Quixote) 6:05 The songs of the wars are as old as the hills They cling like the rust on the cold steel that kills They tell of the boys who went down to the tracks In a patriotic manner with the cold steel on their backs
The patriot's dream is as old as the sky It lives in the lust of a cold callous lie Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills
The train pulled away on that glorious night The drummer got drunk and the bugler got tight While the boys in the back sang a song of good cheer While riding off to glory in the spring of their years
The patriot's dream still lives on today It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills
Well there was a sad, sad lady Weeping all night long She received a sad, sad message From a voice on the telephone Her children were all sleeping As she waited out the dawn How could she tell those children That their father was shot down So she took them to her side that day And she told them one by one Your father was a good man ten thousand miles from home He tried to do his duty and it took him straight to hell He might be in some prison, I hope he's treated well
Well there was a young girl watching in the early afternoon When she heard the name of someone who said he'd be home soon And she wondered how they got him, but the papers did not tell There would be no sweet reunion, there would be no wedding bells So she took herself into her room and she turned the bed sheets down And she cried into the silken folds of her new wedding gown He tried to do his duty and it took him straight to hell He might be in some prison, I hope he's treated well
Well there was an old man sitting in his mansion on the hill And he thought of his good fortune and the time he'd yet o kill Well he called to his wife one day, "Come sit with me awhile" Then turning toward the sunset, he smiled a wicked smile "Well I'd like to say I'm sorry for the sinful deeds I've done But let me first remind you, I'm a patriotic son" They tried to do their duty and it took 'em straight to hell They might be in some prison, I hope they're treated well
The songs of the wars are as old as the hills They cling like the rust on the cold steel that kills They tell of the boys who went down to the tracks In a patriotic manner with the cold steel on their backs
The train pulled away on that glorious night The drummer got drunk and the bugler got tight While the boys in the back sang a song of good cheer While riding off to glory in the spring of their years
The patriot's dream still lives on today It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills

12. Lives in the Balance - Richie Havens (written by Jackson Browne) |
|
I just like Richie's version better :)
I've been waiting for something to happen For a week or a month or a year With the blood in the ink of the headlines And the sound of the crowd in my ear You might ask what it takes to remember When you know that you've heard it before How a government lies to a people And a country is driven to war
And there's a shadow on the faces Of the men who send the guns To the wars that are fought in places Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and the T.V. You hear one thing again and again How the U.S.A. stands for freedom And we come to the aid of a friend But who are the ones that we call our friends-- These governments killing their own? Or is it the ones who can't take any more And they pick up a brick or a gun or a stone There are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces Of the men who fan the flames Of the wars that are fought in places We can't even remember their names
They sell us the President the same way They sell us our clothes and our cars They sell us every thing from youth to religion The same way they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are I want to hear somebody asking them why They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are But they're never the ones to fight or to die And there are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire
