Anti-war songs don't get much better than this.
It is really great.

[Grey Fox]

It must be really great if you like it.

[jimmy olsen]

The best anti-war song is War Pigs.

[Scipio]

No, it's Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town.

[Siege]

It must be really great if you like it.

Well, it is anti-war.

When it comes to art, most great pieces are anti-war.
War is not something to support for the sake of it.
You support war when it is strictly necesary, and only when is so.
Every civilized person in this world should be absolutely anti-war.

Now, that video ridiculize some things, and focus on when things that shouldn't happen happens, and totally forget all the bad people that have to be taken out or else we pay the price.

But it is a great anti-war piece.

I hate rabid lefty anti-war, the people that oppouse war because of "principle", like if the enemy would just go away if we quit fighting, but I enjoy deep anti-war, because deep down inside, we all hate war.

The best anti-war song is War Pigs.

If I remember correctly, War Pigs blame war on the generals, instead of the politicians.
War Pigs is a product of the Cold War. It does not seem relevant in today's world, when 19 islamotards can plung the world into chaos.

[Grey Fox]

I like Rise Against, I've seen RA in basements with 20 other people, I've seen Rise Against in Arenas with 12 000 other people.

The best anti-war song is War Pigs.

If I remember correctly, War Pigs blame war on the generals, instead of the politicians.

In that case you should like System of a Down's B.Y.O.B.

What's the meaning of BYOB?

The lyrics.



He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only thing I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

[Siege]

Why the fuck the highlight black is not working?

[Siege]

A hero of war

So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only thing I trust

It doesnt fucking work.

New languish sucks.

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR!
Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels.
Victorious, victories kneel.
For brand new spankin' deals.
Marching forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers.
You depend on our protection,

Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses' dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Blast off, it's party time,
And we don't live in a fascist nation,
Blast off, it's party time,
And where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X4]

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses' dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Where the fuck are you!
Where the fuck are you!

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X3]
Why, do, they always send the poor [X3]
They only send the poor [x2]
