Enjoying the hardcore politics and music here and expanding my collection. Thanks, everyone. On soldiers and the politics of peace... from Dire Straits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjZduiDfYT0 These mist-covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering As the battle raged high And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line in your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms from Crosby, Stills and Nash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awZf2jdqmhk Soldiers of peace are not fighting a war Are not looking for enemies behind every door Are not looking for people to kill or to maim. Soldiers of peace are just changing the game. Men who were fighting for all of our lives Are now fighting for children, for homes and for wives, Fighting for the memory of all who fell before, But the soldiers of peace just can't kill any more. So come all you warriors who live for the fight, Come listen to somebody, somebody who might Have been there before you and they have the right, They've been dying to tell you the score. The old warriors don't want you to hurt any more. Soldiers of peace can still hear the cries When the people were screaming and losing their lives, When bodies were broken and spirits were torn The soldiers of peace do not want you to mourn. So come all you warriors who live for the fight, Come listen to somebody, somebody who might Have been there before you and they have the right, They've been dying to tell you the score. The old warriors don't want you to hurt any more. Soldiers of peace are not fighting a war. No more, no more, no more, no more. On collective rebellion... from Chumbawamba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6WEZYNKXZg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0wDXD1LfQc Pontius Pilate came to our town Up to the dockyards to see the picket line We asked him to help but he just turned around He's the leader of the union now Leader of the union, all of our questions he ignored He washed his hands and he dreamt of his reward A seat in the House Of Lords One by one the ships come sailing in One by one the ships go sailing out We live for words and die for words, principles we can afford When all our Brothers turn to Lords, whose side are you on? You tell the world your hands are tied, history three times denied A sea of changes three miles wide, whose side are you on? One by one the ships come sailing in One by one the ships go sailing out This conspiracy of shame, murder by some other name Play up and play the game, whose side are you on? If any ask us why we died, we tell them that our leaders lied Sold us out down the riverside, whose side are you on? One by one the ships come sailing in One by one the ships go sailing out One by one the ships come sailing in One by one the ships go sailing out...
