Peace Songs

I need some good song lyrics about peace for a school project?? beatles zeppelin dead marley anything of those sorts and in those genres would be great

 

redemption song - bob marley
year of the car crash - warsawpack
peace train - cat stevens

 

Bob Dylan has to have a million songs you could use.

 

Lennon anyone?
....Imagine....Let It Be.....Working Class Hero....Give Peace A Chance

That should have you covered.

If not, Dylan or Marley should fill the void.

 

"I Hate Hate" Reagan Youth
"Unity" Operation Ivy

 

there is a song that i heard on (wncw) a long time ago it is one of the best heart felt songs that i ever heard, i dont now the title, if any one knows
pls respond?
there is a deeper way than this? rising in the air!
thats all i can remember

 

Your Flag Decal Won't get you into Heaven anymore- John Prine. I think the title says it all.

 

I think "It's A Mistake" by Men At Work was one of the better peace songs of the 1980s.

 

i guess 'universal soldier' is the greatest anti war song.

but yeah - most stuff by dylan - try masters of war or license to kill. the latter is best listened too by tom pettys cover --- outstanding

 

Let It Be was Paul, just FYI.

 

you're not wrong zorba

in fact why not play the entire final cut album by the floyd - the gunners dream especially is good for the old ears

I never rated the beatles anyway, maybe im too young?

 

Swim to the other shore

 

Try 'illegal attacks' by Ian Brown

 

Don't know if this is useful, more of an Anti War song from Vietnam War

Country Joe & The Fish
I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag Lyrics


Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds -
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street , don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
