"I Hope You Get Drafted" was written in a restaurant shortly after the U.S. military takeover of the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada. It was then that I overheard a few ehigh school kids sitting at a table next to our own, upholding the imperialist move as a "neat" thing. Their bragging and laughter, so filled with that “new patriotism” which continues to fester in so many Americans, spoke casually of foxholes, guns,and how much "fun" it would be to fight and "win". As they spoke, my thoughts
turned to the television images of dying soldiers and bloodied children of the various worldwide conflicts. While nuclear bombs have continued to mount their mighty forces and as the world approaches its breaking point, to hear those who sit in the belly of the beast laugh and cheer a victory made from blood, made me wish that they alone be forced to die in the horror and...

Nuclear Man was an anti-Bush anthem which commented on the situation reflecting the Iraq war, and the war on terror itself. The song is from the perspective of a politician who is having a crisis of conscience and is trying to come to terms with making what he feels is the right choice. Unfortunately, he is not stopping himself from his own hypocrisy and greed.

Terminus

Chanson française – Terminus – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010


La voilà donc, Lucien l'âne mon ami, cette canzone-sœur de la Locomotive, que je t'avais promise.

Elle m'y faisait trop penser à la locomotive et je me serais senti un peu embrenné de ne pas y faire l'allusion nécessaire, et de ne pas lui rendre l'hommage d'une traduction de ma main. Je ne fais ainsi que rendre à Francesco Guccini, ce qui lui revient. Voilà pour le pourquoi. Quant au comment... J'ai gardé l'habitude de lire et celle de lire plusieurs journaux chaque jour... Je dis que j'ai gardé l'habitude, car aujourd'hui, ce n'est plus une sorte d'obligation professionnelle, c'est tout juste une habitude. Juste une façon de garder contact avec le reste de l'espèce. Et de toutes ces lectures, je retiens certaines choses : par exemple, le grand départ de José Saramago – qui est un événement, c'est toujours un événement... (Continues)

Questa canzone a mio avviso può essere ben inserita nel percorso delle violenze sull'infanzia, poi decidete voi se è adatta o meno.

"It's a protest song that's a little different. Its lyrics are a chilling tale of what the world could become if man doesn't stop the wars, overdoing some technology and other social flaws."

Album: The Man In Black III (1963-1969)

This song was released in 1967 by Johnny Cash. It's not very well-known and was on the opposite side of the song "Rosanna" (45 rpm record). It is believed that he recorded this for a friend named B.J. Carnahan, that Johnny met at an airbase in Landsberg, Germany..

Lyrics by US Paratroopers
Music: sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of The Republic" ("John Brown").

Although this song was originally written and sung by American Paratroopers during WWII, some do consider it a war protest song as well, so this is why I'm suggesting it.
Telling the story of a paratrooper's last jump because his parachute fails, this song still is sung today as a reminder of the dangers of jumping.

Canzone presente in molte raccolte, fra cui "Canti comunisti italiani 1" (1962, Dischi del Sole)

La "guardia rossa" è senz'altro il rivoluzionario bolscevico ma in Italia, nel 1919, le "guardie rosse" furono le formazioni di difesa proletarie protagoniste del "biennio rosso" (1919-1920), iniziato in Toscana con la protesta contro l'aumento dei prezzi dei viveri nota come "il bocci-bocci" ( bolscevismo = "fare i cocci" = spaccare tutto) e culminato con l'occupazione di centinaia di fabbriche, soprattutto a Torino, Milano e Genova. Le "guardie rosse" confluirono poi nell'organizzazione paramilitare degli "Arditi del Popolo" e poi... per oltre vent'anni non fu che fascismo e guerra.

"After reading about the Sand Creek Massacre, and Chief Black Kettle, I wrote this song on his behalf. The lyrics are a prayer from Black Kettle to the Great One, right after the attack on his people. ..God bless the Native Americans"

Album “Gli anarchici 1864-1969”
La canzone si trova anche in un LP intitolato “Siam del popolo gli arditi” a cura del Comune di Scandicci

Leoncarlo Settimelli scrisse questa canzone per uno degli spettacoli del Canzonere Internazionale ispirandosi ad alcuni frammenti di un canto degli Arditi del Popolo (quelli qui sotto riportati in corsivo e tra parentesi). E la dedica non poteva non essere al padre Donato Settimelli che degli Arditi del Popolo di Lastra a Signa fu membro e responsabile. Questa una sua testimonianza: “Ci si illudeva forse, era un’illusione, ma insomma questo entusiasmo io credo sia stato necessario, e sarebbe stato necessario in tutta la gioventù dell’epoca... insomma a molta gioventù dell’epoca, per impedire al fascismo di venire. Perché se nelle Signe cadde tardi il comunismo, insomma, l’azione operaia, lì, eccetera, fu proprio per questo entusiasmo che c’era.... (Continues)

Album: At The Rainbow's End

From the CD "At The Rainbow's End" this shows the metal side of Citadel® in a song that describes, in all the gory details, what life would be like after the WWIII concludes with nuclear stalemate – not your typical anti-war warning, from the not-so-typical band - CITADEL®!

The song "Arkansas Grass" (released in Australia on Parlophone # A-8909, and in the US on Sire Records # 45-4117), took a generic anti-war position in the Vietnam-era, narrated from a soldier's perspective, who wondered what would happen if the general "gave up the wars". The soldier wanted to "throw down his gun, to run to be free".

(1965)
Scritta dal cantautore country Thomas "Tom T." Hall (dal Kentucky, classe 1936), fu incisa da ‎Johnny Wright nel 1965.‎

Ehi, ma questa canzone dimenticata contribuita ben tre anni or sono da anonymous è un’assoluta ‎kikkazza!‎
Ma come!?! E’ il brano che accompagna i titoli di testa di “Full Metal Jacket” dell’immortale ‎Stanley Kubrick, quelli dove ci vengono presentati alcuni dei protagonisti (compreso “Palla di ‎lardo”, con la sua indimenticabile espressione ebete) mentre vengono rapati a zero dai barbieri ‎dell’esercito prima di essere mandati all’addestramento e, quindi, al macello…‎

... ed il fatto di essere stata scelta da Kubrick per il suo film, pietra miliare della cinematografia di guerra, è anche l'unica ragione per cui questa canzone ha diritto di trovarsi qui sulle CCG/AWS, perchè in realtà si tratta di un testo completamente favorevole alla guerra imperialista nordamericana...

Lyrics Music by G. Whitman
Album: Rengerative Generation®Citadel®

"This song is written from the perspective of the Earth looking on as we tiny, temporal beings blow each other up – and the land and animals too! Without taking a political side everyone can agree that war is a dungeon of pain and suffering, usually led by those behind the scenes who never get their own hands bloody...all for a crown, for the conquest...grown-up neighborhood bullies who take from others by force that which they cannot attain on their own merits... "Dungeons of War" also takes a few biblical lines into the discussion, "this is the season to make plowshares from our swords" and also fits into the "Citadel of Cynosure" storyline as the battle that forces the Dreemurz and Rezistors to make the ultimate choice when the Affrage invade their domain...
