Ended up becoming even more political when it became a favorite of American soldiers during Vietnam. A lot of Dead Kennedys have been posted, but I have yet to see Holiday in Cambodia yet.

I've read somewhere that The Butcher's Tale by The Zombies came about because someone was on a history kick and fascinated by World War I. It was released as a single in America to try to capitalize on the growing anti-Vietnam movement, but whether it was really supposed to be an allegory may be a little questionable. It was released in 1967. It's definitely an anti-war song, being the experiences of an enlisted butcher in WWI who's increasingly shellshocked. Meantime, preachers are clamoring for more war, with the double meaning that they are far away from the action and you know, they're supposed to be about peace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMhemzN7sTc
