This is an African tribal chant that we wrote called
'Suppose they give a war and no one comes'
I hate war, I have seen war, I have seen war on the land and the sea
I have seen blood running in the street, I have seen small children, starving
I have seen the agony of fellows and wives, I HATE WAR
Hear the marching, hear the drums, suppose they give a war and no one comes
Hear the marching, hear the drums, suppose they give a war and no one comes
Hear the marching, hear the drums, suppose they give a war and no one comes
'Suppose they give a war and no one comes'
I hate war, I have seen war, I have seen war on the land and the sea
I have seen blood running in the street, I have seen small children, starving
I have seen the agony of fellows and wives, I HATE WAR
Hear the marching, hear the drums, suppose they give a war and no one comes
Hear the marching, hear the drums, suppose they give a war and no one comes
Hear the marching, hear the drums, suppose they give a war and no one comes

Come Zor And Zam dei Monkees, una canzone ispirata ad un celebre passo da “The People, Yes”, poema scritto da Carl Sandburg nel 1936:
“Soldiers.”
“What are soldiers?”
“They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.”
The girl held still and studied.
“Do you know…I know something?”
“Yes, what is it you know?”
“Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.”
L’innocente e rivoluzionaria considerazione della bimba portata ad assistere alla sua prima parata militare venne adottato come slogan dal movimento contro la guerra in Vietnam.
