From Kabul to Khartoum

I've just been listening to this song, I love it...

From Kabul to Khartoum
David Rovics

From Guatemala to Korea
To the tunnels beneath Hanoi
From Tulsa to El Chorillo
Fat Man to Little Boy

We fought them in Nicaragua
And upon the Cuban shore
We killed Khaddafi's daughter
See what the fatwa's got in store

(chorus)
We're gonna bomb our way to freedom
With the cruise missiles of justice
And the spent shells of democracy
Oh, say, can you see

From Kabul to Khartoum
Where Allah's martyrs bled
To the Iraqi desert
Two hundred thousand people dead

(chorus)

From the School of the Assassins
To Argentina's dirty war
From Arizona to Nevada
We'll nuke our way to heaven's door

(chorus)

 

Yes he is a great protest singer. All his songs are available for free download - he tells people to distribute them freely since the more people who hear them the better. Definitely a musician I admire...

Check out www.davidrovics.com

 

I'm listening to the songs on that site, amazing, really makes your spine tingle, emotional music....

 

Me too ... I'd never heard of this dude before I read this thread.

 

I hadn't heard of him before Claire said 'Peace One Day' reminded her of this song. I'm meant to be doing an essay, but I can't help myself listening to more and more of his songs, truly inspiring....

 

*cough* *cough*

 

Yeah, great music.

I don't know what you're coughing about missy, I sent it to you

 

... will I go into the reason WHY you sent it me?

 

*Splutter* My, this is catching....

 

I've now downloaded 26 tracks from his website. This dude's music is amazing

 

In fact his music should be on the main curriculum of our education system
