PRO-PEACE & ANTI-WAR
Eve of Destruction
Barry McGuire, 1964
"The eastern world it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin'
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'"
"If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave"
Fortunate son
Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1969
"Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer 'More, more, more!'"
Give peace a chance
Plastic Ono Band, 1969
"All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance!"
war
Edwin Starr, 1970
"War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"
"War is something that I despise,
Because it means destruction of innocent lives,
War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes,
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives"
"War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind"
imagine
John Lennon, 1971
"Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion, too
Imagine all the people living life in peace"
"Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world"
