[1962]
Testo e musica di Georges Brassens
Paroles et musique de Georges Brassens
Album: Le mécréant
Altri interpreti: Juliette Gréco
Autres interprètes: Juliette Gréco
Propriamente, in questa canzone in cui un Brassens oramai quarantenne ricorda i suoi tremendi vent'anni, passati nella più nera povertà e nel lavoro coatto di Basdorf (si vedano anche La ligne brisée e Les P.A.F.S.), la componente contro la guerra si limita alla prima strofa. Ma è una prima strofa talmente bella nella sua amarezza, che davvero non sarebbe stato possibile lasciare da parte questa canzone, che fu sorprendentemente interpretata anche da Juliette Gréco.

Leyenda del águila
![Leyenda del águila](img/upl/silvio-rodriguez-01.jpg)
«Del año 64 o 65 que empiezo a componer ya rítmicamente, al año 67 que me desmovilizo, hice una buena cantidad de canciones. En los primeros años fui muy prolífico. Generalmente, estas eran canciones de amor, no crónicas sociales. Sin embargo, en esa época escribí mis primeras canciones de contenido social. La primera fue una canción contra la discriminación racial en Estados Unidos que se llama «¿Por qué?», y la segunda fue una canción contra la guerra de Vietnam, «La Leyenda del Águila». Después escribí otras contra la guerra de Vietnam.»

How Many
[2003]
Testo ripreso da
Lyrics available at
http://polsong.gcal.ac.uk/songs/rev1.html
"Before America declared war on Iraq in 2003, I began writing a poem about my feeling. We were still at war in Afghanistan, and it was a little over a decade ago that we have been fighting Iraq before. I felt disgusted that within the first few years of the new millennium, America would set a tone of aggression, violence, revenge, and selfishness for the 'new American century'. How dumb are we? What did we learn during the bloody 20th century? Two world wars? Atomic weapons? How could we possibly start off the next 100 years by fighting TWO wars? A war in a country that had done nothing to us? 'How many more gotta die?' I asked. How many more mothers gotta cry? It was a protest of war. Well, of course we DID go to war in Iraq. And the song changed scope, and as no longer simply about war, and became a protest song. When history begins repeating itself, one has to ask oneself, 'How Many More?'"

Too Many Puppies
![Too Many Puppies](img/upl/Primus-Frizzle_Fry.jpg)
Album: Frizzle Fry (1990)
"The song is mostly about the band's reflection on war, and how many soldiers are too young to go off to war, parodying the idea of "the dogs of war" by claiming the dogs are merely puppies. The song was written shortly before the first Persian Gulf War and was about violence in the Middle East during the time period."

Deja Vu (All Over Again)
![Deja Vu (All Over Again)](img/upl/fogerty.jpg)
Lo abbiamo già visto e sentito, quel mormorìo che si trasforma in voce. Voce di dentro e dolore pubblico, fantasmi di guerra che risorgono con il pianto delle madri. È questo il tema di “Deja Vu All Over Again”, canzone che dà il titolo al nuovo album di John Fogerty, il primo dopo sette anni. Una canzone contro la guerra in Iraq, che ha fatto tornare alle cronache il nome dello storico leader dei Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fogerty, per giunta, è stato tra i partecipanti al tour anti-Bush Vote For Change.
